Excerpt from The Malay Orthography

The mixture of the different kinds of type has created considerable difficulty in the setting up, especially because great varieties of founts are not available here, and the indulgence of the reader is requested for all deficiencies.

Two defects are very apparent - first, in consequence of 'the large bodies of the Arabic type the vowel signs appear at too great a distance from the letters they accompany; and secondly, the type used does not admit of the insertion of a ham-zah between two joined letters except by employing with it that which appears like a substantive letter i The sincere thanks of the author are due to Mr. H. L. Noronha of the Government Printing Office for his kind assistance in seeing these pages through the press.
