Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to gnome desktop in Malayalam locale
2. Open any keda applications like lokalize, kate

Comment 2 Pravin Satpute 2009-12-01 07:02:06 UTC
this is not problem with Meera font but problem with fontconfig and KDE, somehow kde is not using fontconfig file, and thats why scaling of font is not happening correctly.

http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8642 reported upstream.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 05:39:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

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 prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2010-11-16 06:51:16 UTC
Is this still broken in Fedora 13, 14 and/or Rawhide?

Comment 7 Ani Peter 2010-11-16 07:00:42 UTC
Thanks Kevin. I shall revert by today COB.

Comment 8 Ani Peter 2010-11-16 13:39:06 UTC
I confirm that the issue still exists and thus changed Fedora version to 14.

Thanks

Comment 9 A S Alam 2011-08-18 10:39:54 UTC
upstream issue is closed due to low number of vote. Please vote for following issue: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4268

Comment 10 Rex Dieter 2011-08-18 12:00:17 UTC
fyi, qt-4.6.3-6 included much-improved fontconfig support, see bug ##705348. 

Please do re-confirm issue remains before we poke upstream to furhter action.

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2011-08-18 12:00:38 UTC
err, bug #705348 (to make autolinking work)

Comment 15 Pravin Satpute 2013-01-21 07:05:31 UTC
smc-meera-fonts-5.0.1-4.fc18.noarch fonts does not using scaling rule anymore. So it should render same way as gnome in KDE.

Comment 16 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 00:51:09 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
