Re: Anyone invest Amharic?
That is a good point. You probably need to the correct language tag to make it work.
First of all you need to get hold of file with the fonts. Obviously Nokia have one kicking around somewhere. Not sure who else might have one. Perhaps Microsoft do but I wouldn't count on it.
You need also to identify a translation source. I have no idea on that one, but a good start is to Google it.
On the language tag, I did a lot of this stuff before the tag came in, but I think you might be able to get away by trying to put them through as Arabic, but I am not at all sure about that one.

Language tag does not matter.

I've already hit several of them which have been registered since 2001.

Many Rastafarians learn Amharic as a second language because they consider it to be a sacred language, and even the original language.

If you can get "News" that has to be a huge winner. Loans, Insurance and other financial related are always big winners! How about Television?

I am using Linux. I do not know which font is actually rendering the script, but it works.
I'm not going to take any of these. Have fun!

Re: Anyone invest Amharic?
For those using windows and can't see Amharic script:
Visit this link:
ftp://ftp.ethiopic.org/pub/fonts/TrueType/gfzemenu.ttf
Save the gfzemenu.ttf file to your desktop
Then 'Start' >> 'My Computer' >> 'C Disk' >> 'WINDOWS' >> Find the folder called 'Fonts' and open it >> Drag the gfzemenu.ttf file into the 'Fonts' folder and refresh your page.
