    Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate your feedback. I'm pondering whether
    there's a middle way for this particular dilemma.

    How does this sound:

    'Operating systems shall, to the extent of their capabilities, only
    recognise Level 1 compliant fonts as Sinhala fonts.'

    The intent is that if the operating system already checks font
    compliance then it must adhere to Level 1 compliance for the aspects it
    can/does check. What do you think?

    I suspect this issue will affect a "_very_large_market_", but I don't
    know when they will raise the issue.

    cya,
