And I am not for continuing mediawiki or any software in any older unicode versions. Yes, I had disagreement on UTC's decision. But that is irrelevant now. I want to support new version of unicode eveywhere. I have asked the designers of the font to update to new versions.They were not ready and they had disagreement with UTC's decision. Recently they told me that they are not for sticking in 5.0 and want to move forward. New versions of the fonts will be released.. Not only with the characters in question, but also supporting new characters in version of Unicode. I don't think UTC will take any decision on equivalence. Till then I wanted to keep the two fonts Meera and Raghumalayalam as non default fonts. But to add them, I have to use the character conversion. I asked Shiju many tiimes whether I can remove them. But I did not get clear answer. But I am going to remove them now and will add when a new version of those fonts are ready. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29005 --- Comment #29 from Santhosh Thottingal 2011-12-17 09:21:36 UTC --- Meera and Raghu Malayalam removed from the options of Malayalam in r106502. Will be reintroduced when the upstreams release new vesion with latest unicode support. Now Malayalam got only AnjaliOldLipi as option. Malayalam community(that includes me) can file new bug if any other fonts need to be added(should be opensource, well maintained with active upstream). Please confirm and close the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29005 --- Comment #30 from Shiju Alex 2011-12-19 06:07:06 UTC --- Thanks for fixing this issue. I suggest some one who is technically good, verify and close this bug. I am really sorry for the statement //Also some third person developer need to handle all the issues related to Malayalam// I withdraw that statement and apologizing for it . As long as there is no forced conversion of existing Unicode text to an old Unicode version, just for displaying the text in Unicode 5.0 font, I do not have any problem in Santhosh working in any issue related to Malayalam. Sorry once again for that statement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Along with that, I would love to see equal opportunity for users to choose between a modern and a traditional orthography font. From 1970s onward, kids are studying new orthography. Whether we like it or not that it is a fact and Mediawiki or any software should honor that. However, I don't have a font to suggest. Just something to keep in mind for future font selections. > I don't think UTC will take any decision on equivalence. Till then I > wanted to keep the two fonts Meera and Raghumalayalam as non default fonts. There is no 'till then..'. As I mentioned before, that is not going to happen and no development plans should be wait for anything like that. > But > to add them, I have to use the character conversion.

What about using the forks of those fonts with standard chillus? I know, when the additional characters defined in later Unicode versions, that will not get propagated to those forks when the original fonts add those chars. However, those chars are really archaic and chillus are very common. So chillu support should trump the support for new archaic chars. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
