If you have otfinfo command line tool (included in texlive), you can try: otfinfo -s /path/to/font.otf Where '/path/to/font.otf' is the full path to your font file, It should list font supported scripts and languages, then try: otfinfo --script=SCRIPT -f /path/to/font.otf Where SCRIPT is one of the returned values of the first command. This should show what script/language/feature combinations supported by the font.
