Description Rajeesh 2015-02-15 15:55:26 UTC

Description of problem:
PT Sans ttf files (from the OFL source archive) have wrong glyph (Ruble) in place of Indian Rupee (currency sybmbol  U+20B9). Websites with rupee character falls back to PT Sans and shows Ruble sign as fontconfig priority is higher than most Indic fonts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
20101909-5.fc2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Ruble sign is shown in place of Rupee sign.

Expected results:
Rupee sign (₹) is displayed.

Additional info:
Contacted upstream (fonts at paratype dot com) and they have directed to the fonts available at http://www.paratype.com/public/. The files at http://www.paratype.com/uni/public/PTSans.zip indeed are fixed. OFL versions of PT Serif and PT Mono are ok.
I understand Fedora prefers the OFL version, is there an alternative?

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 13:36:27 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Pravin Satpute 2015-11-10 01:30:39 UTC

This is fix now. I see we get notdef shape. i.e. Character not available in font now.
