[smc-discuss] Remove Latin glyphs from fonts?

[ViswaPrabha (വിശ്വപ്രഭ)]

It is always a good and safe idea to keep the basic latin character set
within a non-latin Font file. It may just help in situations where
non-standard hardware / software will have some way of showing up their
messages in an unexpected, though perhaps rare  scenario.
My 2 cents.
