@hhpapazian No strict rule, but I usually do a bit of research and try to find 3–4 resources to start a new category.

@hhpapazian @typofonderie Thanks! It’s my project, but it’s also everyone’s project. All contributions are welcome, including suggesting new categories or specific links and resources.

@hhpapazian Great idea. Do you know any foundries that offer them? I saw an ad for one at @typofonderie today, but I can’t recall any others.

Why is @Monotype so bad with foundry support? It was so much better when @MyFonts was still independent.

@_justinpenner Thanks Justin. Ah type design, the job where more time is allocated towards researching and assessment than actual design.

HELP WANTED: Compiling a Latin proof for testing diacritics, noting each language's base + diacritic pair. Anything missing? Let me know. Characters displayed between brackets [eg.(ä)] feature in the language but only within borrowed words.

@TiroTypeworks Would the samples be pulled into your font editor? I’ve thought about building a Glyphs plugin with a UI for extracting text samples from web pages.

I would like to have a tool that I can point at a URL and it would collect from the content of that webpage all unique instances of Indic clusters that contain a character or character sequence that I specify. I know this sort of thing can be scripted, but with some kind of UI?

@yanone @moyogo @simoncozens @davelab6 @rosettatype No worries! I also get tired of trying to follow conversations on here, with the way threads get forked and forked again. I'll get in touch via email or Github issues if I have any questions for you, after I've worked on this a bit more.

Building a @glyphsapp plugin that lists languages your font doesn’t support yet. Add missing glyphs for any language in a click!

@simoncozens @davelab6 @rosettatype @yanone I like your approach with “providers” in Shaperglot. I have some ideas about dealing with unencoded glyphs in checking for language support, but you may have already addressed them, so I’ll get more familiar with it before I post an issue.

@mrkvlmrvc @glyphsapp @yanone Yes, I think Script + Region sets like this are a very useful approach. Type designers/foundries are everywhere, and should have standard glyphsets to support languages in their own part of the world. @yanone thoughts? Latin North America, Latin Oceania, etc.

@mrkvlmrvc @glyphsapp @yanone It would also make it easy for the user to pull the latest versions of open-source glyphsets that occasionally change over time.

@mrkvlmrvc @glyphsapp @yanone Great idea. It would be easy to extend this to show standard glyphsets in a similar UI, so you can easily add GF/Koeberlin/Adobe/ISO/etc glyphsets to your project.

@hernandezrcris @glyphsapp Agreed, I’ve been thinking about this, and a primary goal for this tool is to make it easier to find and support underserved languages. It will likely be sorted by language name, until you click a column header. Any other columns you would want to see added?

@_justinpenner @glyphsapp Returning to this, I'm hesitant about using the number of speakers as the sole or primary measure used here (considering factors like inaccurate representations and imbalances in power/resources).
