| This is due to the fact that there is simply no font linking info in

| explicitly use particular fonts (say Slyfaen or Code 2000) then it
| works very well.
I don't know what you mean by 'font linking info', but Windows font
signatures have had a bit set aside for Georgian for quite a while and
they now also have one for Ethiopic. So it's straightforward to handle
display of both these languages without forcing users to use
particular fonts.
