This is not a well-defined problem. What if your text contains Thai, Latin, Hebrew, and Japanese? How could any function return a single script in that case?

Hi, I need to find a way to determine the "best script" corresponding to a given Unicode string/char. For example, if I have some unicode text containing Thai characters, I want to be able to say that it is "thai". And if the text contains latin characters, I need to be able to say it is "latin". Is there a method provided by glib/gtk to determine this? Pango provides an API called pango_find_base_dir() which does the job of guessing the direction of a unicode text, which is close, but not exactly what I want.
