Hyperglot

Hyperglot helps type designers answer a seemingly simple question of language support in fonts: When can I use font A to set texts in language B? It takes a pragmatic answer by identifying a standard character set for each orthography used by a language. Hyperglot is a webapp and an open-sourced project available as a command-line tool, Python package, and database.
