Line 46: ==Why Unicode?== And not Kaputa or Kandy or eKottu? Unicode is the international standard for non-Latin scripts. It is Wikipedia's policy to use Unicode fonts in international sister sites. This is to ensure universal usability. You cannot use non Unicode fonts to search in Wikipedia. See other sister sites such as [http://ta.wikipedia.org Tamil Wikipedia] and [http://hi.wikipedia.org Hindi Wikipedia] to understand ~~it's~~its capabilities. Latest Linux distros come with Sinhala support by default(remember to select Sinhala while installing). Currently, Sinhala does not come built in with '''Windows XP''' unlike Tamil and Hindi. However, the beta versions of upcoming '''[http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.mspx Windows Vista]''' comes with [http://jinath.weblogs.us/archives/031334.html Sinhala support] by default.
