windows Tor Browser testers please

[Thorin-Oakenpants]

We (Tor Browser, no I do not work for them) would like to know what scripts (languages) aren't supported across Windows versions: i.e 7 v 8.1 vs 10 vs 11 - in order to get all versions up to date with the same support and fonts

Back story: TB uses a font whitelist. It added some fonts that every Windows user would have to cover as many scripts as possible, and then it also bundles and whitelists some extra fonts for scripts such as Khmer etc

But that was a long time ago, and what is shipped by default (i.e not optional or additional or supplemental Microsoft system fonts) has changed. For example, the font whitelisted for Ethiopic is Nyala, and the font whitelisted for Bengali is Vrinda - but both of these were dropped in Windows 10

default font lists are here

• e.g. Windows 10: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/fonts/windows_10_font_list

STR

• open Tor Browser
• go to https://arkenfox.github.io/TZP/tests/fontscripts.html
• click [ run ]
• from the summary on the right hand side, copy the list of unsupported scripts
• report back with your windows version (major version, e.g. 7, 8.1, 10, 11)

I really only need one of each, but feel free to test and report back if anything is different (you may have downloaded supplemental fonts)

for example, here is windows 7
