--- Comment #2 from Tran Vinh Tan <[email protected]> 2009-08-28 00:22:48 UTC --- I made a search and found that: * Vietnamese characters are scattered in Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended A, Latin Extended B and Latin Extended Additional in Unicode fonts table. * The problem is that DejaVu fonts haven't fully covered *Latin Extended Additional*. This is the unicover.txt from the latest DejaVu (2.30, 200-08-27): Sans Serif Sans Mono U+1e00 Latin Extended Additional 96% (248/256) 76% (196/256) 71% (182/256) So I suggest that two possible solutions: * Switch to another open typefaces, such as, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_UCS_Outline_Fonts Free UCS Outline Fonts], which have better coverage, and is released under GPLv3? * Keep things as they are, and wait for DejaVu to update their fonts. But I saw that it took them 6 months to update from 2.29 to 2.30, and unless some volunteer developer created those characters. We would wait long. I refer the first suggestion, but I hoped it will not violate extension's license or your favorite fonts in a book. But for Vietnamese, who get used to see many (commercial) full fonts (all over Internet), it would be hurt to see some odds in the documents, and will not render PDF books in Wiki anymore (I am a good example, I think). -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
