Description:
People on the Lingala Wikipedia complain about a lack of support for characters like the ɔ́ that should show as one character and do not. They also do not show properly in bugzilla (certainly in edit mode).
They will not collaborate in Betawiki as a consequence.. I posted on my blog about this, I posted on the Afrophone mailinglist and I got this additional comment from renaud gaudin:
"Also, I've been reporting for ages that the interface should use the
same font as text so that "buttons" are rendered properly.
On a French Windows with Internet Explorer (which is what's used in a
large part of west Africa), the "Edit" button (but also a significant
part of Interface texts) displays unknown (square) characters...
It makes it hard to convince people to first use Wikipedia, then to
contribute to it."
