    And from <http://hapax.qc.ca/Blocks-4.1.0.fr.txt> there are these
    additional differences in script names:

    ISO 15924 Blocks-4.1.0.fr.txt
    nouveau taï-lue Nouveau taï lü
    bouguis Bougui
    tifinagh (berbère) Tifinaghe
    cunéiforme persépolitain Vieux perse

    I also note that the name for the Gujarati block in the French 3.2
    version of Blocks.txt was Goudjerate, which has gained some currency
    on the internet, e.g. <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode>.
