Hello, Ben,

Thanks for your reply. DejaVu Sans is the default GUI font on Ubuntu in Uyghur language, we were able to complete more than 95% translation string into Uyghur. (That is more than 200,000 sentences!) We really hoped to use Ubuntu in our language, unfortunately, the GUI font's lack of support Uyghur language gives us a problem and challenge.

Last year, one DejaVu font developer, MichaelJP, added the above 4 glyphs and their presentation forms to the font. Unfortunately, it seems that he can not commit it. I still have the copy and diff file.

If you do not have enough time to develop any glyphs, can you just simply add the already made glypths to the font and commit it? We really hope to solve this problem before Ubuntu 12.04 is released next month.

Thank you again.
