> That shows Berber OK on a test Android phone and Linux PC with lots of fonts already, but the PC has font issues in SE Asia (Myanmar/Thailand).

Yes, that’s maplibre/maplibre-gl-js#50, which is being worked on. The rendering of Indic scripts has major legibility issues whether the style uses remote or local fonts. The lack of ligatures and contextual forms is more apparent to nonspeakers when using local fonts because of the ◌ that the browser decorates each combining character with, but it’s apparently just as illegible with remote fonts even if it looks prettier. Fortunately, none of this is relevant to Tifinagh.
