I can see what it should look like by pasting the name into SC Unipad.

As this is a dead language, it's not critical. Just thought the observation
was worth reporting.

Hey now. Gothic is one of the few languages I'm fairly good at! I've been contemplating doing a translation from the Gothic, in fact, akin to the translations people do from other texts that aren't Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic. The Gothic Bible has at least a claim of being a bit older than the Vulgate.

btw. I have SIL Graphite enabled in my Firefox config, which means that most
complex scripts should be supported.

Gothic is one of the less complex scripts. It only has 2 diacritics: a diaeresis to distinguish two forms of <i> and an overline to mark numerals & abbreviations. Our text probably doesn't even use the overline.

The text above, <gutiska>, looks fine in Thunderbird on Ubuntu Precise.
