Burmese Fonts/Encoding
This premier version of the Burmese Language Kit for OS X currently includes one font, named XenoType Burmese. Although we use Unicode as the base font encoding, the proper display of Burmese text under OS X 10.2 requires the use of some contextualization routines. The intelligence that allows this to take place is unique to XenoType Technologies and its Burmese fonts.
You may own other Unicode Burmese fonts but unless all of the necessary glyph shapes have been encoded properly and in a manner consistent with our shaping routines, third party fonts will not function properly.
If you have a favorite Burmese font and want it to work with our kit, please contact the manufacturer or vendor and ask them to contact us. We cannot honour requests to modify other vendors’ fonts. If you’re a font vendor, we are very interested in expanding the number of typefaces available for OS X and we encourage you to contact us.
