Comment 13 for bug 341741

Hello,

I don't know how I got on this list. But I am using ubuntu linux, mac and
Windows to type Lao. We have no end of troubles with word wrapping etc. If
there is something that we could help to test, I would love to help.

At one time I submitted a request to include a small 'x' that vowels could
attach to as seen in all older Lao grammars. Not sure if that was this list
or another list, it was several years ago.

Also allowing for the "ia" symbol to come at the end of a syllable would be
good for older texts. (Actually there are several older Lao characters that
could be included, but that is probably not for here.)

I will be in Laos next week, but even before then, I have 3 Lao workers and
we would love to help in any way we can. (We are located in Thailand.)
