Hoi,
In the past the WMF has funded the creation of a Unicode font. Having a
Unicode font is essential when we are to support it in MediaWiki. Not
having a fully developed font is what hinders the necessary follow up of
projects in SignWriting ie all the signed languages.
I do agree that a language with a default script not supported in Unicode
is hugely problematic.
Thanks,
GerardM
