fontLanguage()

[Phil Davis]

Thanks Paul.

I went to file a bug report and saw that Kenji Kojima filed one against 
LC 6.7.0 when the problem first occurred:

    http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12430

I didn't realize the feature had been deprecated. Ben Beaumont commented:

    This feature was going to be deprecated from LiveCode 7.0 onwards
    because modern fonts no longer use the language meta property.

Live and learn.

Thanks -
Phil
