--- Comment #7 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu> ---
Sorry Viktor, but completing the integration into DejaVu remains the most
feasible way for LibreOffice to provide coverage of rovás in the "Old
Hungarian" UCS block.
Bundling specialized fonts to support the User Interface for a single Unicode
block is not an effective way to do things.
IMHO that specialized effort belongs bundled as an Extension that would include
any hu-Hung (SH) rovás transliteration tools (bug 97406 c#28) along with any
grammar & dictionary/spelling data. And likewise the same for hu-hung (CB)
should that gain usage.
Meaning--for its broader distribution, and its deployment by
LibreOffice--DejaVu is a better choice. Your Kende, Maros, and Attila fonts
with specialized coverage of the UCS block are not going to be helpful--they
would not be built/bundled by any Linux distro, and would likely not be built
into the projects official builds.
Despite its limitations, absent the work needed to implement a User Interface
in Hungarian rovás (bug 103405), the CTL handling of the script does detect the
UCS block and correctly applies the ICU bidi filters to text runs for the
range. It will also assign a "Hungarian Rovas" language tag if that is set as
the default CTL.
Also regards a supporting font Tamas needs to clarify the additional glyphs
necessary to provide as PUA and where in the 20 remaining reserved spots of the
"Old Hungarian" block they could be mapped and manipulated. We understand the
argument that Unicode TC may have gotten it wrong during voting to release at
UCS version 8.0--but working within the defined block is the only effective way
to implement and then to make the case for expansion or relocation of the
block.
