the Ogiecappo Campotype was created to support the knowledge of the Buginese language. Originally the Buginese language mass used of the coastal tribal in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Even we will found it on the more Buginese tribal who lives in more coastal villages in the world. It can be understood cause the people is recognized as a wanderer social class. They were sailing since long time ago, found and lives in a coastal area, to dissolve with the local inhabitant, make a new generation, and they had been forgotten their native language, or forgotten the alphabet maybe, at least the new generation have not recognizing the language element base on the original source. It is the spirit of why this font digitized. It can be help the people who want to make Buginese script, accessibility to Bugis transcript, documentation, and more knowledge activities for Bugis language existence.
Meanwhile, basically the font is Latin1 unicode modified encoding, and not using bugis unicode which not yet windows keyboard compatibilty. Here it is the keyboard guidance:
The challenge of this font is too much ligature hinting control, especially how to mak the vowels sign can be put in right place. Actually it is the first version and the second still editing which will naming Mattulada.
