You are probably referring to the fonts available only unhinted.  I was 
quite excited when, after installing that package, tested by browsing 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_writing_systems#List_of_writing_scripts_by_adoption 
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmic_scripts#Comparison which 
seemingly (although I cannot judge if correctly) displays all glyphs.

Ohh, yes.  Fixed in git now.  Thanks :-)

Speaking of which, I was considering to instead mention actual script 
names (like font family names), to aid in searching.  I extract the 
facts at package build time so it wouldn't be a burden/ability for 
translation, only arguably bloating the long description needlesly.

What do you think?  Does that sound sensible or silly to do?
