Script Tags
Script tags identify the scripts represented in a TrueType Open font. Script tags are defined by Microsoft Typography and correspond to the contiguous character code ranges in Unicode.
All tags are 4-byte character strings composed of a limited set of ASCII characters in the 0x20-0x7E range. Each script tag consists of four lowercase letters.
