None of the three BPG fonts has U+0589.
#0589 (Armenian full stop) is a big mistake, as 0589 has nothing to do with Georgian alphabeth (it is not even in Unicode Georgian range). It is indeed very strange how this letter ended up in list.
#10a0-10c5 (as you noted) are not used in modern-day Georgian writing and I think should be removed from Georgian font requirement list.
Is already commented out, i.e. this line in ka.orth is not used.
#10f7-10f8 letters for Mingrelian and Svan should also be removed from the list, as practically they are as good as never used in Georgian writing too.
also already commented out.
"BPG Glaho" and "BPG Courier" support U+10d0 - U+10f6 and U+10fb but "BPG Chveulebrivi" lacks U+10f1 - U+10f6.
Therefore, none of these fonts will be selected by default when running in a Georgian locale, even if I add entries in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to prefer these fonts.
I think we should remove all the letters from the requirement I noted above.
But what about U+10f1 -U+10f6 which are missing in BPG Chveulebrivi?
Are these needed or not?
