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.
