Created attachment 154390 [details]
Screenshot of the misleading settins text.

There are misleading CTL setting name as [None]. It (NOW) implements Old Hungarian script. It would be id as other non-fully implemented in the future.

It would be better, if UI text appear as "under introduction" or something else.
"None" text suggest, that sets no one of languages, and it isn't work.

For testing Old Hungarian cappabilities:
Suitable font:
https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/blob/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/ttf/NotoSansOldHungarian/NotoSansOldHungarian-Regular.ttf

Suitable keyboard layout in xkeyboard-config defined since 2.22 version released between  extras - for Linux. (Updated it in version 2.27)
Suitable keyboard layout for Windows (It compatible with xkeyboard-layout's version 2.27):

@All

What's your opinion?

Not too many options here. Until bug 103405 is completed, there is no other choice than a 'None' entry on the Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages for the Complex Text layout handling. Can not apply to an entire document.

Otherwise, the Character dialog allows you to assign a supported font (e.g. Kende) and select a 'Hungarian (Szekely-Hungarian Rovas) language assignment for ODF markup of paragraphs and text runs, while the ICU libs correctly will handle bidi and rendering of Hungarian entered RTL as rovas for Unicode in the x10c80-x10cff range.

Seems IMHO a => WF and efforts should proceed on bug 103405
