Thank you for providing this list, which wasn’t east to compile. (And no, I wasn’t offended by your broad generalizations earlier.)

For the sake of completeness, I’ll add the Windows system font Calibri, which is what my Word 2010 applied when I copied the string of characters from your thread<https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1477415&gt; over on Adobe’s InDesign forum:

Maintype tells me all 6 members of the Calibri family (as installed with Win7 and copyrighted 2012) contain 2,161 characters In addition to the usual four styles (Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic) the family includes Light and Light Italic. Wikipedia says Calibri replaced Times NR as the default typeface in Word back in 2007<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri&gt;, which may make it more challenging to use in a cutting-edge design.
