The Zawgyi font is not compliant with Unicode and I will have nothing
to do with it.
Thanks for your understanding.

Htoo Myint Naung have been talking only about my.wikipedia.org. We
want to get that working correctly, to ensure that recommended fonts
are *actually* Unicode compliant, and to ensure that appropriate
input methods are available for users, again, cross-platform if
possible.
Please keep trying. But also note there are three FOSS Unicode 5.1 fonts (parabaik, myanmar3, padauk) available since 2008 April. Also check out our
Keymagic,
Buglish and
WaitZar project for input method implementation.

I think it would be better for that to continue as it is. Once the
my.wikipedia.org is working then content from the other site could be
migrated.
Sure. Let me know if you need any help. We will provide Unicode 5.1 version too. Conversion is already in the pipeline.

What "commercial outbound links"?
