Hi All

~~ASCII Myanmar font was introducced around 2000~~

since 1992 (check in http://www.myanmars.net/winmyanmar/)

Thanks.

~~they can type must faster then by Unicode input solution~~

Wrong Information

That is true. All DTP typist agree. You know it, don't you?

Here is some supporting fact.

~~4.0 model based MyaZeDi has been published by eTrade (later by Solveaware)~~

MyaZedi never based on Unicode Standards Ver.

At least codepoints follow, doesn't? Or you can say 4.0 model follows MyaZedi.

~~failed to deliver a free Unicode Font although it was promised.~~

(Why you are saying wrong frequently about Myanmar NLP Lab).

That is well know fact. But nobody dare to talk.

~~Unicode 4.1 is huge flaw on normalization of Myanmar script and correct in Unicode 5.0.~~

Unicode 4.1 and Unicode 5.0 are same model encoding for Myanmar Unicode

At least it breaks if you put 4.1 data in 5.0.

~~some government staffs are told manually upgrade to new font system.~~

Give Evidance

This is also well know fact.

~~People think Unicode is experinmental~~

only you and some stupid person can't be say as People

That is what people believe on Myanmar Unicode.

and ~~not going to happen like most other government projects.~~
Zawgyi fans are working on those project. They blocked Myanmar Unicode. Just check in http://www.elibrary.com.mm and http://www.khitlunge.net.mm Is it government funded web sites.

Yes, government office and web site must use Myanmar1/2/3. It is an order.

~~Unicode 5.1 rendering algorithm is very complex~~
Even making the open source, never try to learn those source. It's not complex, just needed to try by yourselves

True.

~~not good enough for formal web and document.~~
What is your scientific measurement in free Unicode Fonts relating formal web and document? You may try HTML. There are no flaw.

I don't means error. They just don't look good.

If you offer MyaZeDi typeface, I will say 5.1 has a great font.

~~Solveware will release commercial Unicode 5.1 fonts~~
Solveware never try commercial Unicode fonts ever. There are a lot of fonts developer. I will go further for our language development. Font is very basic component for Localization. No one started that kind of fundamental work in burmese, that's why I started that work. I do not make any more fonts for burmese

Yes, it is not right time now.

Totally agree Unicode 5.1 rules can't be applied by copy-cat process. :)

Best
