How do you suggest an operating system determine if a font is a valid
Sinhala font? Level 1 compliance, as specified in SLS1134:Part2,
prescribes the minimum set of requirements for a SLS1134 compliant
Sinhala font. I would think it is only logical to comply with it.

So, if SLS1134:Part2 stated something like 'Operating systems shall only
recognise Level 1 compliant fonts as Sinhala fonts.', would that be
sufficiently explicit in your mind?
