Statistical analysis of Glyphs

For multiple purposes this data is of utmost importance. Here just listing few possible use cases.

Any Gujarati font cannot be ideally called complete if it lacks support in rendering certain character sequence. In other words, all glyphs has to be supported. However for all its practical purposes providing complete coverage may not be primary goal of font designer/foundry. In such cases, those glyphs that occur more frequently then others need to be supported first. Statistical analysis can help us in deciding which are those scripts.
Even if a font with complete coverage exists, it would increase the file size comparatively which is not desirable scenario in many use cases e.g. web fonts. In fact, a web font generator that only adds those glyph which are actually used in the site would not just be a cool thing but a sought after requirement. Here also analysis of all glyphs in a corpus helps.
In OCR for various reasons.

Guidelines

Format : Font name, Link from where font can be downloaded, Unicode character sequence, Image as how the glyph should look, Image as how glyph (or lack of it) is looking.
Please provide additional test case details such as which application and operating system is used to produce this undesired rendering - whenever it is possible, more the better.

Demo is dependent on font installed on local machine

Allow for font to be referred from elsewhere when not available on local machine.

Conjuncts like ક્ષ ત્ર જ્ઞ શ્ર are broken when web fonts are used.

When font-family is referenced as webfont, conjuncts such as ક્ષ ત્ર જ્ઞ શ્ર are rendered broken. See comparison in two screenshots at the end. This comparison is for Lohit, but other fonts shows the same behavior. This is common behavior for FF, Safari and Chrome.

It might have to do with how webfont generator (Font Squirrel in this case) which is converting input .ttf file into various other file formats.

The curious case of default text.

At this point, default text is more or less just a કક્કો. Should it be enumerated બારખડી ? should it be a meaningful sentence ? Is it ok to have some non-sensical sentence just like lorem ipsum ? Can we have equivalent sentence of Quick Brown Fox ...
