wonderful, thanks, am merging this now
Thank you. I did not notice the order, that’s my fault.
My proposed order should be
I reported to Yunghkio’s developer, he will setup the proper repository and update the website. Yunghkio is well known font in Myanmar, especially for Shan languages. Currently you can download Yunghkio 1.2.2 from the following URL. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3535692/yunghkio1.2.2.ttf
Done, thanks!
BTW, Yunghkio (and Myanmar3) do work on Mac using the new "Native Mac" version of Emacs. A sample of Yunghkio on Mac is attached. I see many improvements over Sangam+Padauk, though there seems to be a rendering error (highlighted region) which does not occur on Windows.
Very fast, I was thinking to amend and push in the morning. Thank you, your package is very useful for me. :) So far (as I tested since OSX 10.8), Mac only supports OpenType for Western and Arabic scripts. AAT table is needed to work properly on Mac. Myanmar3 and Yunghkio do not include AAT. Without AAT, the characters are readable but some rendering are not correct. You are right, rendering is wrong in highlighted area and all of the dotted circle.

should probably include AAT/OTF/Graphite so that fonts could be chosen on that basis in the future. Though (as far as I know) Emacs Lisp doesn't report a difference between the TTF and OTF versions of the same font, even when the backend renders OTF.
Thanks again for your input.
Built in fonts are not very useful for native Myanmar. Common Myanmar fonts are added to the list.
