Strongly I sympathize the comment "it depends on the purpose of the database". It would be possible to find the script(s) used in the official documents made by the current government of a country, but the definition "common use" would be slightly difficult. Many factors can change the popularity of the script; the policy of national language education, the availability of paper & printed matters, the popular stationary (or equipments) to make a document. Of course, if the scope is changed from "commonly used in written or printed document" to "commonly used in computerized document", the popularity would be changed too. # I'm interested in the methodology how to maintain such database, # because it is difficult to guess the codepoint coverage of legacy # codepages from the language IDs in TrueType fonts...
