http://chris.improbable.org/experiments/browser/webfonts/universal-noto-sans/ has two test cases where the CSS unicode-range property can be used to avoid @font-face downloads when the page does not include characters in the range. Testing is simple – load one of the testcases and see whether fonts other than the Thai or Armenian font are downloaded: * http://chris.improbable.org/experiments/browser/webfonts/universal-noto-sans/all-in-one.html * http://chris.improbable.org/experiments/browser/webfonts/universal-noto-sans/single-name.html Reported to Apple as rdar://18030068 for iOS
