Fontconfig - Mar 2012 - New orth file for Uyghur with different script variant

Dear FontConfig Developers/Maintainers,

For many reasons, Modern Uyghur is being written in 3 different alphabets,
which are Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic. (Please refer to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_alphabet for more information.)

For the Arabic based Uyghur, we have ug_CN locale in GLIBC and ug.orth
orthography file in FontConfig. while we are working on ug_CN at latin and
ug_CN at cyrillic locale, we are thinking about how to name and develop other
2 variants (Latin and Cyrillic) of the orthographic information files in
FontConfig.

Should they be ug_latin.orth, ug_cyrillic.orth or something else? Please
help us on this problem. Thank you.

Maybe. dunno we have pa.orth and pa_pk.orth say. keeping ug.orth may
still works as long as it points to ug_CN in glibc and it behaves the
same in both locales. or we may need to rename pa.orth too perhaps.
I''ll check the code carefully and give you an answer for that once
you''ve finished everything and ready to file a bug for that in
bugzilla :)

We developed a new locale "ug_US" and filed a report to have it
included in
glibc at:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13865.

And, we also developed a new, corresponding orthography rule
"ug_us.orth",
filed a report to have it included in fontconfig at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47459.

Please add the "ug_us.orth" orthography file to fontconfig at your
earliest
convenience.

Thank you.
