I've been mildly irritated because I couldn't get _every single language_ on the main wikipedia.org page to display properly using properly-licenced free fonts. This situation now appears to be in the process of being fixed.
According to http://aiet.qartuli.net/docs/georgian_on_linux_en.php, three free-as-in-freedom fonts for the Georgian Mkhedruli alphabet are now available, courtesy of the commercial Georgian font vendor BPG Info-Tech. The page is not explicit about the licence, but states:
"The leading font vendor of professional Georgian typefaces BPG Info-Tech was kind enough to provide us with the special GNU Linux versions of some of its Georgian fonts, which can be downloaded from this site (see the links below). The provided fonts are licensed for free distribution by individuals and by companies independently, or along with any GNU Linux System or other open-source software, as well for free use of the typefaces for commercial and noncommercial needs."
This might concievably of use to the Georgian Wikipedia community, as well as to script-system enthusiasts.

Are these fonts Unicode-compatible?
