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.

Such technical problems can easily be solved.
Every single problem you listed is an easily solvable problem.

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.
