Type functions

g_unicode_script_from_iso15924

Looks up the Unicode script for iso15924. ISO 15924 assigns four-letter codes to scripts. For example, the code for Arabic is ‘Arab’. This function accepts four letter codes encoded as a guint32 in a big-endian fashion. That is, the code expected for Arabic is 0x41726162 (0x41 is ASCII code for ‘A’, 0x72 is ASCII code for ‘r’, etc).
