Following a large request by the Amazigh\u00a0scholars to\u00a0urge\u00a0social networking sites including Google to integrate\u00a0Tifinagh script in\u00a0its\u00a0Chrome browser,\u00a0Google finally responded to these concerns\u00a0with the following post:<\/p>\n
“Fallback to the font Ebrima has now landed and if you have Windows 7 or newer Tifinagh characters will now be properly visible even if the page has not specified a suitable font.
\nThis will be available in products based on Chromium M49 (so for instance Opera 36 or Chrome 49).
\nLong term I think the code that selects fallback fonts in Windows needs to be a bit smarter and find fonts itself.
\nThanks for reporting this issue and let us know if there is something else to do. Sadly I could not find anyone working in the project (*hint*) that used the Tifinagh alphabet.” \u00a0Google Staff<\/p>\n
Based on the email\u00a0received, Google\u00a0has officially agreed to fix the bug\u00a0in the next\u00a0Chrome 49\u00a0release knowing that current version is 47.<\/p>\n
