We have already reported it. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=45840 If apple safari does not show Malayalam properly, it is their bug. Consider filing a bug(if possible). >From http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/#Malayalam_Chillu_Characters "Because older data will use different representation for chillus, implementations must be prepared to handle both kinds of data." If chromium or apple safari breaks this standard, please report bugs against them. Chrome is known to buggy with Malayalam and all the news portals, blogs of Malayalam are aware of this issue. From the above bug, you can see that it is not limited to Malayalam. Chrome cannot render "Srilanka" written in Sinhala because of that bug. By the normalization rules in Webfont, it tries to use the least common denominator for the encoding, so that users from older versions and new versions of operating system can read, use the content(copy the content to local machine). Since there is a force conversion of whatever user writes/edits to atomic chillu characters, in Malayalam wiki, there is no problem with interlinking articles by copy pasting. The normalization code automatically converts it to correct link. If this is not the case, please show me an example. Unless the webfonts does not break any of the functionality of mediawiki, the normalization code is going to be present there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
