FWIW, we used Glyphgate (previously Fairy) for Hawaiian several years ago
and worked with the developer to strengthen Hawaiian and Polynesian
support, but eventually abandoned it and just converted our site to
straight UTF-8. The company was very responsive and helpful, but I found
myself spending far too much time tweaking the settings for broswers that
did not require the plugin to display the language. Perhaps it's easier
now. If anyone wants more details feel free to contact me directly.
