Perhaps I should elaborate.
For font problems on individual people's computers, they may download new fonts.
If they are not able to change the settings on a computer, they should
request the proprietor of the Internet café, library, etc. to update
it. If this proves to be a problem, there are dozens of other
possibilities to acommodate for people who cannot change settings.
What you said about "removing the Lontara fonts" is absolute nonsense.
Fonts are stored on each user's computer.

Dear wikitech,
It's not that I give up or something, I just wonder if my PC cannot display
the code properly in the edit box , how about others PC? (I only got boxes
in the edit box.) Likewise, after I told them that buginese has just
created, suddenly, there were like a hundred of request of having this wiki
in roman. The main reason is that it'll be easier for them to edit the
article. Moreover, this is just struck me, most of the readers are using
public PC and thus they usually aren't allowed to change the settings for
the PCs (If I'm not mistaken, the control panel for public PCs are locked).
And lontara font is not a microsoft software or project or whatever, which
means that it didn't come along with the microsoft OS pack. Therefore, this
script is not available for almost all public PCs. And this is totally my
mistake. Thousand apologies.
Maybe you guys're kind of confused, when I said unicode, I referred to the
traditional lontara. But plese don't delete the lontara font family. We'll
be needing in the future, like quoting the old text etc.
Again, I'm terribly-terribly sorry for this messed up. Another thousand
apologies. And I hope you guys can change the system to roman as soon as
possible. So that I can continue the set up.
Zaid Zainuddin
