It will be a complete different keyboard layout. It means Sinhala ‘අ'(3461) has a unique value and English ‘A’ (65) has its own and any character in any language has its own value. The difference between a unicode font and a normal font is unicode font have a unique value for each character in each language. The second one is the one I am lacking with my university and office work but I need to somehow find some time to develop at least one nice sinhala unicode font.Īs you might already know there are hundreds of sinhala fonts but only few unicode ones. First one is you gotta love your language and secondly you should have time. You should have two things to develop a Sinhala Unicode font. And also I will add a good post on how to develop sinhala unicode fonts by the end of training sessions in next few weeks. At the end of first day, I have got a real interest in coming up with a sinhala unicode font with next few weeks.

Gihan Dias, Harsha Wijeywardana, Wini Hettigoda were helped us on this event. The first day was really wonderful and sessions were done by great people who have worked hard on this Sinhala Unicode concepts and who have been really working hard on Sinhala Localizations. I was fortuante to be there to learn the best practices for developing unicode fonts in Sinhala.

I have got a great opportunity to attend a series of traning sessions on Font Development at UCSC which was organized by ICTA.
