Comment 98 for bug 650498

Paul,

My comment was neither uncivil, non-factual, nor disrespectful. I am not a coder, nor am I a font designer, but I am a linguist, and I was simply pointing out the socio-linguistic implications of ignoring this bug for so many years, by giving you a personal example of how the lack of action makes me feel - that being: disenfranchised, demeaned, and now also, misunderstood.

This bug has to do with language, language is culture, and culture is fluid and emotional - and hugely important. If me pointing out the cultural importance of this bug makes you feel uncomfortable, that just goes to show how much this thread was in need of a nudge from an actual human/emotional perspective, rather than getting stuck in a never-ending cycle of conflicting viewpoints.

But, after all is said and done, it is also obvious that after nine years of inaction, there simply won't be a capital ẞ coming to the Ubuntu font set. And in that vein, I won't be posting here anymore, indeed - I will simply have to find another font set and let bygones be bygones.
