hello. my name is Andrew. im learning the language toki pona.
great language! however, it does not currently have support in Unicode.
as a workaround to use this language online, people have been downloading a font called nasin nanpa, and adding it to firefox's font fallback system in the about:config settings, and using the fonts UCSUR characters, like these , .
[specifically, the font uses codepoints in the Private Use Area because the language's script is not yet in Unicode. ]
the changes are to these settings.
font.name-list.cursive.x-western
font.name-list.monospace.x-western
font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western
font.name-list.serif.x-western
recently, this system has stopped working.
this change breaks multiple websites, including many discord community's that used the font to talk online in toki pona!
it also presumably breaks other fallback scenarios.
now im guessing that this has not been noticed as most fonts support every commonly used character, making this feature rather obscure. however i really would love this to be fixed, and so would the large toki pona community!
to see what i mean better, please see the below images.
the last image shows a website that loads this font on it's own, showing what the others should look like.
