rendering the burmese unicode font MPH Yangon



Hi all,

At http://fixedsys.org/~node_ue/fonts/, you can find a Burmese Unicode
font called MPH Yangon. Unfortunately this doesn't render properly on
linux (debian sid) because it renders the characters very wide (tested
using http://my.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Font in firefox/galeon). I
tried asking on the freetype user list, but didn't get very far, they
seem to have their hands full with other users.

Is anyone able to help debug this problem? This is the only libre (GPL)
Burmese Unicode font available as far as I know. Others available are
shareware or other non-free, or are not fully compatible with the spec.

Also, any info about the status of Burmese support in GNU/Linux would be
appreciated, for instance is there a my_MM locale available? I attempted
one, but without knowledge of the locale format or Burmese, I didn't get
too far.
