Perhaps Andrey could be persuaded to port some Maori fonts to Plan 9 while
he's at it?

it's funny you should say that, I was just composing a message regarding
writing elvish in plan9:
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/screenshots/plan9-elvish.png
as fervent slashdot readers this may be slightly familiar to the 9fans
population :)
maori seems to use latin, however.
while on the topic, boyd may find this useful:

I wonder if this can be used to re-write the ``Lord of the Bling'' segment
from last weekend's MadTV.

I didn't think there was a written form, just transliterations
written in roman chars.

I don't think they make the blue ones any more.

That's basically true, but it's considered good form to put a horizontal
bar, or macron, over long vowels such as the "a" in "Maori" (but not the
"a" in "Steinlager"). Unicode already caters for this, so Andrey's
intervention is not really needed for Plan 9, but to cater for
Unicode-challenged applications on the dark side, people have created
special fonts by hi-jacking the vowels with umlauts.
