Syllabic font orientation<\/h1>\n

<\/i>Not all unicode fonts will display East Cree syllabics properly<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As unicode becomes the de facto standard for text encoding and representation in computing, a number of universal fonts have pushed to include as many unicode characters as possible.
\nHowever some had not paid attention to regional differences in representation. When it comes to Eastern James Bay Cree (a.k.a East Cree) syllabics this was very much the case. Although some unicode fonts may contain syllabics, often the orientation may be out of alignment with the regional orthography. In the case of the East Cree, one such scenario the sh+vowel<\/span>. Below is a illustration of Correct<\/span> vs Incorrect<\/span> orientation of East Cree syllabics.<\/p>\n

<\/i> As of 2022 this issue has been fixed for most fonts. However, if you have old documents in which the old font was embedded you will need to replace that font. <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
If syllabics in yellow<\/span> looks like the text in green<\/span> it means that you have the corrected font <\/caption>\n
