i just checked the results for the Mongolian Baiti column against v5.4.1 running on Windows 8, and made what changes were needed to the MB column (mainly in the first section). i also added a note to clarify which version of Mongolian Baiti i used, and mentioning that v5.0.1 gives different results, and that those result may also vary depending on whether you use nirugu or zwj. you can see the diff at https://github.com/r12a/r12a.github.io/commit/bdfc7a0566b9b8979843969dfbfc0b0364c8904b earlier this morning, in a separate commit, i also put in place a workaround for the problem where the nirugu/zwj switch was failing in Internet Explorer. So that should now work. ri On 18/04/2015 16:47, Richard Ishida wrote: > today i updated the page with many isolate forms that i omitted from the > previous version. > > i also fixed a few bugs along the way. > > > ri > > > > PS: according to github there were 1,344 additions and 225 deletions, > but github isn't showing a diff at > https://github.com/r12a/r12a.github.io/commit/b324ee2ce726087bebea4561027d8b94efcb8e0f?diff=split > - i'm not sure whether there just are too many changes, or it's still > producing the diff > > On 16/04/2015 11:44, Richard Ishida wrote: >> folks, fyi, i just finished extending the page >> Notes on Mongolian variant forms >> http://r12a.github.io/scripts/mongolian/variants >> to cover all remaining characters in the Mongolian Unicode block. >> >> the document compares variant glyph shapes proposed in three documents, >> and shows what shapes the following fonts produce: Mongolian Baiti, Noto >> Sans Mongolian, Mongolian White (+Writing, +Title, +Art). >> >> if anyone wants to provide information about what glyphs are displayed >> by other fonts (the conflicts are all that are needed) i will try to add >> that information to the charts. >> >> (more detailed description of the page in text follows below.
