I have a freeware program called ListFont that will display all your
Windows-installed fonts in a tree, showing which languages are encoded with each
and allowing you to view that portion of the encoding. I was surprised how many
common ones (Like Arial, Bookman, etc.) included encodings for Central Europe,
Baltic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.

I've been through most of the Georgian grammar there, that's where I got the

with it. It's only 4kB.
