[mapserver-users] Using fallback fonts?

[thomas bonfort]

It's not planned, but you can get in touch if that is something you
would be able to fund. The per-script selection however allows you to
rarely/never have to fallback onto unifont at all, which in my
experience is the font with sizing issues.
