Ar 19/03/2004 11:46, scrÃoá Marion Gunn (is that correct Irish old
orthography?):
... If there were text processing
resources
available for the Gaelic script, this could change.
I have to agree with the above paragraph of Brian's.
Well, any Unicode-compatible word processor, e-mailer etc should be able
to use the old Irish Gaelic orthography, with letters like U+1E03 which
I used above. So this can change now.

ScrÃobh Peter Kirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
May I pick a nit here? Dotless i is used in the official orthography of
at least one non-Turkic language, that of Udi, a north-east Caucasian
minority language of Azerbaijan; I think it is also in the Latin script
orthography of Lezgi, the language of a much larger minority group.
That is good news, if it equates to good news for Irish. Do you think it
does, Peter? Too many more msgs to wade through, which ain't necessarily
true.:-)
I don't think it affects Irish, unless you want to be dotless MarÄon Än
IrÄsh even when usÄng a non-GaelÄc font. The consensus on the list seems
to be that Irish should be written with a normal i character and the dot
removed in particular fonts.
