Why is uppercase being based on larger lowercase is so problematic? It is common in many language's orthographies, and although not traditional or "normal" for some of us, it has been for many people for a while.
Look at the n shaped Eng (Ŋ) used in Africa vs the N shaped on use in Scandinavia, the Azeri schwa or African turned E (Ə) vs. the other turned E (Ǝ), the n shaped N with long right leg (Ƞ) used in Lakota, the Latin alpha (ɑ/Ɑ) used in Africa, the r with tail (ɽ) shaped capital R with tail (Ɽ) vs. that capital R shaped, and other historical letters. Are these so problematic they will require a new design? Some of these have been around for less time than the uppercase eszett. -- Expansion: 'ẞ' LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
