</span>While font coverage is slowly getting better, there are unfortunately<br>
still lot of scripts missing. What we've added has been done with the<br>
aim to have it mixing nicely with existing fonts, sometimes making<br>
small adjustments here and there.<br>
<br>
Including a big set of Noto fonts or similar is not in the plans right<br>
now, would require quite a bunch of fonts. The best thing for you could<br>
be just including custom fonts in the application if those are needed.<br>
<br>
If there are certain scripts people would really like to have, would be<br>
good to have votes on <a href="http://together.jolla.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">together.jolla.com</a>.<br>
