Does the existing perl5.8.* Unicode support have a way to efficently

use Unicode::UCD qw(charscript charblock);

print charblock (0x30a0);
Great.
It seems to make sense to have a hash which maps script names to
probable (font) encodings
(Hiragana | Katakana | Han) => 'jisx0208.1990-0'
(Greek) => 'iso8859-7',
I dunno about script->font mappings...
That is Tk's (i.e. my) problem.
XFree86 has the font encodings bundled so I think I can pre-analysze
them.
So give a (1 character) string how do I get Unicode script/block it is in?
