Create multilanguage DXF from TTF fonts

To get started, first you need to select the 'Font' that you wish to work with, which in turn will display the available 'Unicode Blocks'. Next, you can opt for the language that you need, between 'Batak', 'Brahmi', 'Braille Patterns', 'Coptic', 'Currency Symbols', 'Javanese', 'Mongolian', and countless others.
You can then choose the preferred 'Set Start Index For' 'Symbols', 'Capitals A-Z', 'Small a-z', 'Special Char 11' and several others, while clicking on a specific item from the 'Unicode Blocks' panel will prompt you to perform the change of index. When satisfied, you can press the 'Generate Script' button to complete the operation.
