I've attempted to upload my shell script using the More button; it is very
heavily commented (as much for my own benefit as anything). As a quick trial
you can make it executable and then type, for instance:

FindFont thai greek
or
FindFont hindi persian hebrew

The first will list all the fonts that contain characters for both Thai and
Greek, and list enough information to see which of those fonts correctly
report the needed support. That helps when choosing a font that Writer
(hopefully) won't mysteriously replace. Even with the ability to set a CTL
language and font, it will be ignored and replaced if the font isn't
reporting what it has correctly. With trying to intermingle more than one
language/script in a document, CTL hurts far more than it helps.

The second command - giving three arguments - probably won't list anything
unless you're have some really beefy fonts, although both FreeFontSerif and
its bold counterpart support all three. FindFont.FindFont
<http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4198555/FindFont.FindFont>  

The bad news is that the list of languages/scripts is not comprehensive
(just ones I've happened to look into); the good news is that they're
defined in a "case" statement, so adding some others should be relatively
simple.
