Hi All
ASCII Myanmar font was introducced around 2000
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?
I've been several customer site. Including making Myanmar Lexicon Database by Ministry of Education. They said so, Myanmar Unicode Keyboards is more faster than ASCII keyboard, for some stacks characters, They do need to memorize or keep the character chart beside. Myanmar Unicode Keyboard based on unique canonical order. How did you measure? I don't think, Burglish is different from Unicode Keyboard. You might know Keyboard Mapping Software and Input Method Editor. Don't compare with Keyboard and IME. :) If you still missing that information you should learn basic component of Localization first.
4.0 model based MyaZeDi has been published by eTrade (later by Solveaware)
At least codepoints follow, doesn't? Or you can say 4.0 model follows MyaZedi.
You still thinking different from others. I expressed that MyaZedi never base on Unicode Standards. Standards is not only Code Point but also encoding standards. Just buy Unicode Standards Books and learn first. What's code points and Standards.
failed to deliver a free Unicode Font although it was promised.
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.
At least it breaks if you put 4.1 data in 5.0.
Never, You should buy those book from Amazon and keep figure out what differences are.
some government staffs are told manually upgrade to new font system.
This is also well know fact.
Hey. It's not true. It's biased information.
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.
Yes, government office and web site must use Myanmar1/2/3. It is an order.
Ever government will enforce national level industrial standards in their office.
Japanese Government enforced to use JIS in IT Industry. You may know
more than me.
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
