Its a shame, Unicode's page mentioning this change was last updated on Wednesday 17 December 2008. But still, even in Lucid Lynx, there has no compatible fonts. If somebody check "Screenshot (Lucid Lynx) of Malayalam Wikipedia (ml.wikipedia.org)", they can feel the problem. Or check Malayalam wikipedia or most of the Malayalam sites.

Largest Malayalam data storage, wikimedia Malayalam wikies going to switch its database to unicode 5.1. Old encoding has another problem. Almost every search engines omits the joiner in old encoding. This is true for google, yahoo, wikipedia and all the other sites I have checked.

That may be a point of view. In a new user point of view, reconfiguring is very difficult. Windows is very available in India and most of the people using them. Windows tools for typing Malayalam is well updated and Now majority of data coming encoded in Unicode 5.1. Current stand of developers cannot provide any advantage on ubuntu usability. Enough arguments were done on this, and in reality unicode 5.1 released 2 years before (Please consider current unicode version is 5.2). -- 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

The reason why developers are not including the new characters and encoding changes are explained in the bug report : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484536 . Note that just adding these 'chillu characters" will not make the font unicode 5.1 or 5.2 compliant. There are few other changes also in unicode 5.1. Font developers from the community are not interested in incorporating these controversial changes. But the ubuntu package for ttf-indic-fonts requires updates since there were new releases of this package during August 2009.

[Bug 515607] Re: Unicode 5.1 compatible fonts for Malayalam not available
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
