Please elaborate if you actually found examples of contradictions. I
have CC'd those involved in the preparation of the documents.

I don't think you actually answered the question. 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?

1) You say "should include at least"? Surely you mean "shall include at
least".
2) You say "preferably conforming to"? Surely you mean "confirming to".
I suggest you re-read the document. Here's an extract (emphasis (*)
added by me):
---------------------------------------------------------
4.3 Computer Systems preloaded with Sinhala
When a vendor provides the entire computer system preloaded
with Sinhala, the user shall be able to work with Sinhala Unicode,
without installing any third party component in the computer
system. At a minimum the following components shall be provided
with the computer system:
a) Sinhala Display and printer driver
b) Sinhala Keyboard and keyboard driver
c) One Sinhala font
This system shall support Unicode-aware applications running in
Sinhala. The *three components* listed above *shall* have the
*specifications described under section 4.1.and 4.2.*
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
4.2 Fonts
The fonts are standardized in 3 different levels. A level 1 font
provides basic Sinhala support, and higher levels support more
advanced features.
