Add Adobe character sets to Encodings menu #2634

Open ultrasquid opened 8 years ago

Because they are grouped mostly by language coverage instead of Unicode ranges, the Adobe character sets would be useful to include, to help designers determine which glyphs out of the tens of thousands available need to be done for a particular market.

Adobe released these under the MIT license, so their inclusion shouldn't be a problem in that regard.

This appears like something that should probably be built into the "make*.c" programs (in the Unicode directory). makeutype.c, or maybe a new program....possibly makeatype.c (imports the tables from the github location).
