fonts - sometimes, even being able to render spam makes me feel good ; -)

One of the things I have been doing since April [ and I still seem to
be some way from finishing it 8-( ] is updating my notes on how
various TTF and OTF fonts look, and what they cover (this got
prompted by the Noto fonts used by kde5 - somehow, I lack enthusiasm
for those which cover historical writing systems, and also for those
where there seems to be nothing on the web).

On mailing lists I use rxvt-unicode which does NOT use fontconfig,
so I have to specify which fonts it should use.  Until today I'd
never seen any georgian text on a mailing list, but I happen to be
subscribed to freebsd-questions (that acts as a reminder that the
grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence, and also
helps me to remember that there are other views).  That list gets
quite a lot of spam, and today I got something which was almost
certainly spam - but I looked at it and thought "that's georgian,
isn't it ?"

For once, I felt good about being able to render a spam posting (I
can't read it, of course - so it is not much different from the
occasional romanian spam I get at my lfs address).

Makes a change from fighting xelatex trying to get things to render
;-)
