On other systems, this is addressed with font per Unicode range tables. That is, each character or paragraph style has the option to have supplementary fonts assigned to a range of Unicode. This might not be feasible with low power processors you see in today's mobile devices.<div><br></div><div><div><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face/unicode-range">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face/unicode-range</a><br></div><div><br>On Saturday, December 19, 2015, David Haslam <<a href="mailto:dfhmch@googlemail.com">dfhmch@googlemail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Suppose a Bible translation for language with a non-Roman script has<br>

What then?<br>

The likelihood that a single Unicode font has coverage for the Biblical<br>
languages as well as the target language non-Roman script is pretty small.<br>
<br>
Is anyone researching this?<br>
<br>
Code2000 might be first choice, but this lacks sufficient coverage for<br>
codepoints added in Unicode 5.0 and later.<br>

PS. I first raised this question in the Facebook group called Digital Bible<br>
and Translation Issues.<br>
Our STEP Bible friends at Tyndale House, Cambridge have already encountered<br>
this problem.<br>
