Finally Sinhala Unicode Support In Mac OS X


Yesterday while I was at work Anandawardhana buzzed me on Gtalk.

This is the the conversation we had;

12:04 PM Anandawardhana: http://web.nickshanks.com/typography/
මේක වැඩ කරනවද නැද්ද බලල තියෙනවද?
12:05 PM me: ah

Anandawardhana: if this works
it indeed is a BIG step forward
12:06 PM me: yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anandawardhana: pls test it if you have a mac
i dont
me: yeh yeh i have a macbook now :D
Anandawardhana: great
:)
12:07 PM me: :)

So today I got a chance to try this & this works fine. But as they have mentioned it’s still under development & still some characters not rendering properly. But end of the they we have a reasonable Sinhala Unicode support on Mac OS X.

This has developed by a Programmer & Web Developer, Nicholas Shanks who lives in United Kingdom.

This font is a Mac version of Malithi Web, a typeface by Pushpananda Ekanayaka.

Here is the link to get Sinhala Unicode for Mac OS X.

    බොහොම අපූරුයි …ඔව් සැබවින්ම අපූරුයි….තවදුරටත් mac osx වලට සිංහල unicode අමුත්තෙක් නොවන හැඩකුයි පේන්නෙ!
