Description

This plugin is devoted to making it easier to use the Karen languages on the Internet. Due to poor technical support, the Karen langauges currently have limited online presence. However, with the help of this WordPress plugin, you can help change that.

The Karen languages are commonly written with a script derived from the Myanmar script. The Sgaw and Pwo Karen scripts are implemented in recent versions of Unicode as an extension of the Myanmar script. However, many people may still be using psuedo-Unicode Myanmar fonts, which commonly use minority language code points for their own use. This causes a problem for browsers which don’t know which font to use, and commonly choose the wrong one, rendering Karen text unreadable.

The solution is to specifically assign the correct font to all Karen text. The primary function of this plugin is to facilitate this assignment. It does this by scanning content for Karen text, and assigning a CSS class containing font family information to any text it finds.
