      As a user, I expect TextArea or Text to render **all** scripts for which the OS provides a font. JavaFX fails for more scripts as compared with Swing (see the screenshot). An interesting note is that Eclipse editor renders **all** scripts (perhaps not exactly as expected, but it is legible, see the screenshot). Is it possible to provide the same level of functionality in JavaFX?

      This issue is a variant of JDK-8296342, both TextArea and Text fail on Mac M1.
