No, you are still misunderstanding.

I am saying that it is ineffective to test with. When the Autonym font loads, any required characters that are missing from the font will be undetectable, because modern browsers will fall back to, which, by Autonym’s design, will look pretty much like everything worked.

The only way to test whether Autonym renders all of the required characters is to add a visually contrasting font as fallback. So that gaps in its required coverage are evident. That is why I am testing with, which has full Unicode coverage and is not mistakable for any other font, and  , for everyone without that font installed.

The result is that in your sample above, all characters render and you can’t tell that anything is wrong with Autonym. In my sample, you can clearly see that Autonym is lacking glyphs for the Glagolitic and Sichuan Yi text.
