[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

The DOCSTRING is not OK:

        font-spec may one of these:
         * A cons (FAMILY . REGISTRY), where FAMILY is a font family name and
           REGISTRY is a font registry name.  FAMILY may contains foundry
           name, and REGISTRY may contains encoding name.
         * A font name string.
         * nil, which explicitly specifies that there's no font for target.

The first line misses a ``be´´.
First item has twice ``may contains´´ although the singular form is  
appropriate.
The second item might need a clarification: is the font name XLFD  
format or can it be libfontconfig?

The DOCSTRING also contains:

        target may be a script name symbol.  In that case, use font-spec for
        all characters that belong to the script.

From which variable can the script's name be taken? There seem to  
exist three choices: otf-script-alist (which looks very promising),  
charset-script-alist (do fonts exist that support all Indian  
scripts?), or char-script-table (looks quite OK).

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something  
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete  
fools.
