Almost none!!!
Try to type something in the Oriya language or Sinhala, Lao, Tibetan, Myanmar, Ethiopic, Cherokee, Ogham, Runic, Khmer, Mongolian, Yi, etc. etc.
These languages have characters already available at the second-level domain!
But they're not useful because nobody can type them or see them.
It's a political decision, not a pragmatic one.

I can see characters in several of the above scripts just fine with my default linux installation on my laptop.
As well, it's incredibly simple to create new keyboard maps in linux.
Maybe the real problem is micros~1 windows and it's lack of "innovation"?
