<!-- ##### ENUM PangoScript ##### -->
<para>
The #PangoScript enumeration identifies different writing
systems. The values correspond to the names as defined in the
Unicode standard.
Note that new types may be added in the future. Applications should be ready
to handle unknown values.  This enumeration is interchangeable with
#GUnicodeScript.  See <ulink

#24: Script names</ulink>.
