Unifon script?

[Peter Constable]

For the platform on which I work, there are fonts that have broad Latin coverage, and matching fonts to language tags is something we deal with in several components. We can certainly “know” that unifon implies Latin script, but having that in the LSTR would have been helpful.

You either know what "unifon" means or you don't.  If you do, that tells
you that you need a font with Unifon characters.  Knowing that it's a
subset of the Latin script isn't really that helpful, as most Latin fonts
don't handle the whole script anyway.
