| In principle, Unicode characters can be used for all writing systems. But since no Unicode font comprising all characters defined by Unicode currently exists, the font for each writing system must be specified. The authors should identify the writing systems they will use in their text and use a font that contains all the required characters. The fonts should not be proprietary so that no copyright is violated if they are used for printing. Texts written in a specific writing system should consistently use the same font. | In principle, Unicode characters can be used for all writing systems.
