fc-query/cache should also generate PK metadata for unicode blocks, so that when the font stack needs a glyph which is not part of an orthography, PK can search for fonts that cover the corresponding unicode block (stuff like symbols will probably never make it in an orth)
Not a huge fan of this. Lets add orth's where missing.
So if I submitted a fontconfig rfe to add an .orth for math symbols, engineering symbols, dingbats, ancient persian, etc would it be accepted? If yes what namespace should be used for those orths? I think ancient scripts have standardised ids ISO-side, but symbols?
Oh, that's what you meant. I believe there's a bug upstream about it? That's a separate issue and we need to figure it out, yeah.
