In their defense, when you click India and scroll down, it does say, "not supported yet". Which leads me to believe they picked both languages with few characters (or straightforward to render?) and those most common, and they'll get to the rest shortly. :)
Oriya appears to be quite complicated to render: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/OpenTypeDev/oriya/intro.htm http://www.microsoft.com/typography/OpenTypeDev/oriya/intro....
Meanwhile, I wonder if this means we'll see OCR and ePubs for all kinds of scripts now; or if this will help enable Google Translate in more languages? ;-)
- soperj 12y agoAlso maybe this was a %20 time thing and the programmer who started it just wanted to do those languages (probably because they couldn't be found elsewhere).
- GFK_of_xmaspast 12y agoI thought they didn't do 20% time anymore.
- rictic 12y agoIt's still a thing, though it does depend to some degree on one's manager.

- ultimoo 12y ago"Oriya is similarly structured to Devanagari and is used to write the Oriya language in Indian state of Orissa." Devanagri is what Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit use, so I am certain that it isn't any more complex to render than those languages.
