The requirements for proofs are:
Character showings
Proofs should show a complete character set. In the case of complex extended multi-script character sets, insure that the showing is comprehensive enough to allow the jury to judge the design appropriately.
Complex system showings
Submissions of text and display Type Super-families, including digital fonts produced in Multiple Master or OpenType formats, should follow the above guidelines, but may feature more than one font or style in each showing.
