It is *not* understandable. The “community” interested in writing, reading, or merely displaying Sinhala script may be as small as the Sinhala-spaking community’s 15.6 million < http://www.ethnologue.org/ethno_docs/distribution.asp?by=size >, but while unicode fonts for dozens of much smaller community scripts are readily available, I have had, as possibly several others, great difficulties in finding a free unicode TTF or OTF font covering the Sinhala block. So maybe other factors cause this, less understandable ones. -- ____.
