Currently, the [Noto website](https://www.google.com/get/noto/#sans-lana) only lists Northern Thai; perhaps it should be extended?\r\n\r\nAlso, Unicode has just added @Arloka’s [UDHR translation to Khün](http://www.unicode.org/udhr/d/udhr_kkh_lana.html) into their collection. So it might be good to update the sample text for Noto Sans Tai Tham.\r\n\r\nHowever, we still have a problem with Noto Sans Tai Tham: it looks like it’s actually [rather broken](https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/693). However, that font bug is unrelated to the sample text and the set of languages on the Noto website."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/googlei18n/nototools/issues/comments/229282325","html_url":"https://github.com/googlei18n/nototools/issues/249#issuecomment-229282325","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/googlei18n/nototools/issues/249","id":229282325,"user":{"login":"mhosken","id":5687149,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5687149?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken","html_url":"https://github.com/mhosken","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhosken/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-29T07:49:55Z","updated_at":"2016-06-29T07:49:55Z","body":"At a high level, Lü and Khün do share the same style. But there can be subtle differences between the two languages in some fonts. Therefore, I would suggest allocating codes for all three languages. But then I'm of the school of thought that says all languages should be accessible from OT, particularly when it comes to non-Roman scripts.\r\n\r\nThe main proposal document for the [Tai Tham](http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2007/07007r-n3207r-lanna.pdf) scripts discusses the different high level styles. While you could make two completely different fonts via loca, it may not be the best approach. But then Android is somewhat limited in its font support in this regard."}}
