I know that it's best to use lontara because it's part of bugis identity, but bear with me, it's not productive. Here're the reasons:

I'd agree to use lontara in article ONLY if the writer of that article wants it to be in lontara. But for general page like main page and special special page, it should be in roman.
Hi, I cannot speak Buginese but I am using Firefox. And I got a list of ᨔᨛᨒᨆᨈ so it is not the ultimate solution. By the way, to anonymous editor, for avoiding confusion and dating the time, on Wikipedia it is recommeded to conclude your word with your signature, which you can put with four tildas (~~~~) - it will turn into your signature after you save your edits. --Aphaia 09:04, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, there are a lot of languages that use the Roman alphabet but can't always be typed using a normal keyboard. I contribute to the Vietnamese Wikipedia, and although Vietnamese uses the Roman alphabet, it also has many diacritic (accent and tone) marks. We ended up writing some JavaScript that enables the user's browser to convert certain keystrokes into the correct characters.
Also, you don't download the characters: what you download is a font that supports Lontara [1], such as Code2000. You may need to restart your computer, but after that, the characters should show up correctly.
I don't know why everyone keeps saying that you need Firefox: I tried it in Internet Explorer 6.0, and the characters show up correctly, as long as you have an appropriate font installed, and the page includes the CSS code that selects the correct font:
font-family: Code2000, MPH Lontara Curve, MPH Lontara Angle, MPH 2B Damase, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
The Main Page currently has this code in some places, so IE shows those parts of the page correctly; in other places, where the code hasn't been applied, all I get are boxes. But you only need to add a few lines of code to the Main Page in order to get everything working just fine. Also, for IE users, you can embed an appropriate font into the website, so that the user doesn't have to download anything at all. Just make font author allows this; some font files, like Code2000, include information saying that embedding is allowed.
Here's what you need to do in order to embed the font into your site. (Visitors won't have to do this, and you can embed a smaller font instead of Code2000, which is a rather slow font, because it includes so many characters.)
EOT
file. [3][4] This is probably the most complicated step, so if you have any questions, I can try to help you out.Place the following code in MediaWiki:Font.css:
@font-face { font-family: "Code2000"; src: url(CODE2000.eot); } body { font-family: "Code2000", "MPH Lontara Curve", "MPH Lontara Angle", "MPH 2B Damase", "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif; }
Add the following code to MediaWiki:Monobook.js:
function addLoadEvent(func) { if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener("load", func, false); else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", func); } function embedFont() { document.styleSheets[0].addImport("/wiki/index.php?lang=bug&title=MediaWiki:Font.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=2678400"); } // Make the browser run the "embedFont" function upon loading the page. addLoadEvent(embedFont);
Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes in the code here. If you have any questions, or if my instructions don't work, then please let me know. I'm also going to test this code on the Vietnamese Wikipedia soon.

(Oups, I erased by error the following message from an IP:)
By the way, the line src: url(CODE2000.eot);
should contain the path to the EOT file; you could upload the file and use its URL here, or you could host the file on a personal website. – Minh Nguyễn 03:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I downloaded the Code 2000 font for Buginese but for some reason it made some fonts in other languages blurry (for example, Thai, Tamil, ect). Does anyone know why this is? Any solutions? Thanks.
Mengapa tidak gunakan "Halamang Indo-e"? User:Kurniasan 08:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Currently, Opera does not seem to want to display any Lontara characters (it works in Firefox). Is there something I can do or is this bug unfixable? -- Prince Kassad 19:16, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I think we should change the lontaras to roman until we have a better support on lontara. If there's any objection, please state under this post. Kurniasan 10:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Use this html for lontara input:-
watangpola: Lontara or Roman?, Blurriness, Halamang Utama - Pembicaraan - Wiki Basa Ugi (Buginese) watangpola
The pages for community discussions is Wikipedia:Warung Kopi.
p/s: I got the html from a webpage that manipulates unicodes, I just edit it a little bit so that it can output lontara script. — Kurnia 19:36, 2 Maret 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I am a Polish wikipedian and I would like to ask you for your help - writing a new article about former Polish President who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 – Lech Wałęsa. I have looked for his biography in your Wikipedia but without success. Polish Wikipedians will be grateful for your help. Thank you so much in advance! PS you can find the English version of the article here. Best wishes from Poland, Patrol110 16:52, 26 Desember 2009 (UTC)
Saya mencoba masuk ke Wikipedia bahasa Bugis ini melalui pranala bug.wikipedia.org, namun kok tidak beralih ke halaman ini. Terima kasih. Anashir 4 Januari 2012 03.49 (UTC)
I added the Saweri font (linked in the sitenotice) to WebFonts. This solves the problem that you cannot see Lontara characters. As far as I tested only Google Chrome has an issue, where it only partially works, but I think it's a big improvement compared to seeing nothing :) I submitted bug 34550 to enable WebFonts here.

[5] Am I correct to say that this wiki has decided to switch back to Latin? Bennylin (bicara) 13 Februari 2013 13.05 (UTC)
I think lontara usage is better than using Latin script. It is for this script's preservation. Salam. Arif_Doudo (bicara) 11 Maret 2013 22.17 (UTC)
Halo sukarelawan Wikipedia Bugis, Saya hendak meminta kontak pengurus untuk keperluan jejaring Wikipedia di seluruh Indonesia agar dapat saling berkoordinasi. Salam hangat.Gunarta (bicara) 14 Agustus 2019 16.28 (UTC)
Salam, Saya baru bergabung untuk menjadi sukarelawan 'bug.wikipedia.org', sebenarnya saya sudah tertarik dr tahun 2013. Tapi sepertinya komunitas tidak terurus dgn baik, dan menyisakan perdebatan tentang penggunaan lontara dan latin.
Komunitas awal diisi oleh sukarelawan Internasional. Apakah lebih baik menggunakan bahasa Inggris? atau membangun komunitas bahasa? Rdwnnr (bicara) 4 Juli 2020 03.10 (UTC)
Can we use Noto Sans Buginese as the default font? This is the standard Bugis font used on Android. Rdwnnr (bicara) 4 Juli 2020 03.50 (UTC)
Semua, kecuali kedua pertama dan tiga terakhir, sudah dialihkan ke halaman utama saat ini, Watangpola. Silakan kunjungi masing-masing halaman tersebut untuk melihat riwayat halaman masing-masing. Bennylin (bicara) 29 Agustus 2022 14.17 (UTC)
