As Paul mentioned, there's nothing related to OT that's needed
for Ethiopic. The only thing you need to consider is setting
the appropriate bits in the OS/2 table. In our experience, to
get fonts working well in Windows where the fonts support
Unicode ranges that don't correspond to any MS codepages, we
have always also included ASCII characters or even all of
cp1252. (We always include glyphs for certain characters from
the top half of cp1252 that are used by Word to display
non-printing characters.) Then we set OS/2 bits for the actual
Unicode ranges supported in the font, and codepage bits for
cp1252 and whatever else may apply. In a Yi font that we expect
to have up on our web site, in a couple of weeks, we set bits
for JIS and cp1250 codepages in order to get the font working
well in Word 97 and Word 2000 (to satisfy the font-linking
heuristics).
By the way, Unicode Range bits have been defined for everything
in Unicode 3.0, but I haven't seen them published yet. I'll
supply this list below. Ethiopic is bit 75.
