font-encoded hacks

[Andrew Cunningham]

Considering the mess that adhoc fonts create. What is the best way forward?

Zwekabin, Mon, Zawgyi, and Zawgyi-Tai and their ilk?

Most governemt translations I am seeing in Australia for Burmese are in
Zawgyi, while most of the Sgaw Karen tramslations are routinely in legacy
8-bit fonts.
