Re: Amharic

[Silvain Dupertuis]

On my system (Ubuntu), your amharic characters are encoded in the Ethiopan pane

(U+1200-U+137C)

and they are displayed with the FreeSerif Font

For example ቱ (the third character) is defined as
U+1271 ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TU

So they are not in any private area.

I tested them in a LilyPond file, and your amharic charaters show up normally.

Looking at the properties of the PDF files, it gives these fonts :

name                                 type              encoding         emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- ---------
ETFDGR+C059-Roman                    Type 1C           Custom           yes yes no       7  0
MNLSBV+Emmentaler-20                 Type 1C           Custom           yes yes no      13  0
VLWNVH+FreeSerif                     TrueType          WinAnsi          yes yes yes      9  0

So I would suggest you try and install FreeSerif on your system

Look for example and fonts here
