[Qgis-developer] Problem in Displaying Myanmar Unicode Font in QGIS

Greetings,

Long story short, QGIS compiled against Qt4 (which is what the official
version does) doesn't support proper Burmese script ordering under linux.
This is due to Qt4 (not actively developed anymore) using an old library to
shape unicode scripts.

QGIS compiled against Qt5 fixes all rendering issues for Burmese language.

Therefore at the moment your options are to either
a/ run QGIS on windows 7 (within a virtual machine if you don't want to
permanently install the OS); or
b/ compile a QGIS build for yourself if you are able to do so, from which
you could create packages to distribute to other users.
