Comment on Language specific styling by Andrew Cunningham

Yes, this approach works with any language written in any script. The styling rules can be quite simple, or very complex depending on your requirements.

The W3C Core internationalisation WG have updated their FAQ on styling using language attributes. Have a look at http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-css-lang

Would this technique work for all languages, even those that do not use the general cyrilic alphabet (arabic, chinese, thai, etc)?

Hi Shiela,

I’m not familiar with any AAT fonts suitable for Nuer. Best option is to install OpenType fonts. The following fonts should be suitable:

Not sure of the status of OT support on latest versions of the Mac. In the past OT support differed between various applications.

I’ll try to dig up the MacOS Nuer keyboard layout i have laying around.

Hi Peter, you didn’t indicate which operating system you use. For Windows XP, you could use Keyman Desktop and a Nuer keyboard package, see http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/downloads/keyboards/details.php?KeyboardID=386

A Win32 style keyboard layout is also available at
http://www.openroad.net.au/languages/african/nuer/msklc-nuer14.zip

Also have access to a keyboard layout for the Mac OS X.

You will need to download and install appropriate fonts for Nuer, and if you are using Windows XP, you will need to enable complex script support on your computer.

Have a look at http://www.openroad.net.au/dev/wiki/doku.php/african/start for further information.

A Thok Nath/Nuer keyboard is available at http://tavultesoft.com/keyman/downloads/keyboards/details.php?KeyboardID=386&FromKeyman=0 or if you already have Keyman installed go to http://www.openroad.net.au/languages/african/nuer/keyboards.html

We are currently planning a keyboard to support multiple Sudanese languages.

I am keen in taking part in anyway in your projects regarding to Burmese. I was born in Burma, have a big and long experience of writing in Burmese even from 1970. But it was without computer but with typewriter. Now I am a pensioner with computer and broadline Internet. Doing sometime Translations from/into Burmese using WinMyanmar fonts and classical keyboard layout. I have M.Tech. Engg (Hons) Degree and I think I am still able to learn new technics.
By the way my Burmese name is U Myo Aung and in 1970-ies I was a well known popular-science writer in Burma with penname Theikpan Myo Aung.
Hope to be useful helping Burma in someway.
Yours sincerely,
U Myo Aung
