Hi!
Let me congratulate you on a best OI OS you have come up with. I would be happy to contribute, but my programming is limited to Windows. Though, I am willing to learn Linux programming.
Meanwhile, I thought I would contribute monetarily. I will send USD 25.00 through Paypal as my appreciation to the excellent work you guys are doing.
I have a small problem. The OS does not do proper glyph substitution of Unicode fonts. I am not sure if this is rendering of Freetype fonts or FB reader. (Cool reader does not even work with Unicode). I downloaded FBReader for Windows and checked. The rendering seems to be ok. But then it could be because, Windows GUI could do this - though not sure.
For Testing, here is a script in Tamil - my mothertongue:
தெரித்தோய்
- though it means nothing, without glyph substitution this will be something like this
ெத ிர ோதய் (I left some space to ensure that you would know what I mean).
If the above characters are just squares for you, then you may have to enable "Install files for Complex Script and right-to-left languages (including Thai) under "Regional and Language Options" in control panel
Can you guys check this? If there is a unicode parsing program you are using maybe, I can check that up, or if you have fixed it or help me in anyway, point me in the right direction, I will be happy.
Thanks.
Vasudevan.
