If anything about this approach was unreasonable, one of the experts
on this list would probably have pointed it out by now.

Trailblazers such as yourself will help to establish the guidelines you seek.

One does the best that one can in anticipating the character strings
the font will be expected to support, follows the font specs, and puts
the results out there for the public.  Then, the user community, if
any, may provide appropriate feedback to the developers so that
adjustments can be made.

Riding along with the insertion of the dotted circles by the USE
enables the actual users to see immediately that the text needs to be
modified in order to render reasonably on that system with the shaping
engine and font selected.  If users consider any such insertion
inappropriate, then it's feedback time.

Does the font name have to be in a Latin-based script?
