ScriptSource has links to fonts, and you may find some there. For instance, I immediately found three Bassa_Vah fonts, two of which appear to be free, one of which costs only $19. There's also a freeware font for Grantha. I didn't search further. (Fwiw, you can find the right ScriptSource

Dear Andrew, Most of the scripts listed below did come via Script Encoding Initiative (SEI), you are correct. The intent of SEI was to work on proposals and provide fonts but, to date, the focus of the work has been almost exclusively on getting scripts into Unicode and not on the creation of

Limits in UBA

Hi, I have 2 questions related to the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm, both regarding limits on certain aspects of the UBA. First, I'd like to ask about the 127 entries of the directional status stack; it had 63 entries in the version of the UBA before Unicode 6.3. Where and why are such deep

Eli, Embeddings are common in generated text. The guiding principle, is seemingly, when in doubt wrap the string in an embedding. At the UTC, we heard, that this can lead to very deep stacks - but I've never actually seen one with more than 63 levels - but that is not my topic here. I'd

Debbie, Thanks for the explanation. I just wonder, in order to get a script accepted for encoding the proposer has to provide a font for the Unicode/10646 code charts, so creating a font (that is at least good enough for the code charts even if it does not have full shaping behaviour) is an

Eli, I think you are correct that the BidiCharacterTest.txt data currently does not go beyond 3 nesting levels for testing the BPA part of UBA. I agree with Andrew that that is reasonable guide to the normal limit of meaningful bracket embeddings one might find in text. However, I don't think it

Dear Andrew, It is true that proposals require a font to create the code charts, but I was careful in my comments to say SEI doesn't currently fund creation of distributable fonts. Fonts for proposals are usually very basic, and often partly auto-generated by font editing software, usually
