I’m interested to contribute to this project, therefore I’m trying to first understand how it works. I see both README and CONTRIBUTING refer to Urdu, but I can’t find Urdu’s data anywhere, and I got this error when I tried to run the check:

> shaperglot check font.otf urd
Language '['urd']' not known

Yeah, sorry, I need to get to this. I started working on shaperglot and came up with an idea of how the checks would work, by defining some checks for Urdu, and then Neil came along with some real-world need for it and we redefined a lot of stuff based on African Latin languages, so I now need to go back and fix the documentation and examples to represent the new reality.

Alrighty. Mention me when you’re happy with how the new reality is documented! Meanwhile @roberto-arista and I will play with the Latin data.

Please, I'm trying to use this to check coverage of a font against a list of ISO 639-3 languages in a file, expecting this invocation to work: xargs shaperglot check font.ttf < target_langs.txt (which ends up effectively being shaperglot check font.ttf eng gle ita ...)

The shaperglot check --help text says to use these language codes and yet every one is coming back not supported. I'm guessing the tool needs/supports a different standard now

@RickyDaMa Use BCP47 language tags with script en_Latn ga_Latn it_Latn ... like gflanguages does.
