Fonts

Microsoft Windows made a font called Nirmala UI, which supports Sora Sompeng. Google Noto is also making a font called Noto Sans Sora Sompeng. Here's a beta version of it:

gollark: I just think it is *not good* if it's working for someone else, generally seems actively hostile for user control, and also seems to slowly be trying to move to a subscription model.
gollark: Arch is somewhat annoying to set up, but it's probably paid back the time investment by teaching me Linux skills and not arbitrarily wasting my time for Microsoft.
gollark: You shouldn't have to work around it. OSes should let you actually use them and work for you, not for some company.
gollark: Well, it does. Because you have to put effort into that nonsense in the first place and it may break later.
gollark: Yes. You can in theory work around the nonsense it does, but all you can do is work around it.
