No operating system like ubuntu is for "UPSTREAM DEVELOPERS". Common Ubuntu end user (or fedora or debian or whatever SMC maintain) always getting difficulties when they use Malayalam Language. Altered fonts are not defined some glyphs because remaining unicode 5.1 code points need explicit OS support and that is not available(? I don't know, I am just a user). If so "UPSTREAM DEVELOPERS" are responsible for creating that also. This looks like somekind of Chicken or the egg dilemma.
Actually I found a bug for this in Fedora, dated one year before, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484536 but someone has blocked intelligently the further development. And now projecting Fedora also not Unicode 5.1 compatible. Still bug #1 remains large and ubuntu users are not able to read Malayalam stresslessly is not a good situation for Ubuntu. Currently all default fonts giving Ⓡ R in circle for unicode 5.1 values. Does that mean Developers knew the problem? ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #484536 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484536 -- Unicode 5.1 compatible fonts for Malayalam not available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
