Description Satya 2009-12-30 02:08:50 UTC
I have typed my Telugu text here using firefox browser
http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/Telugu
and pasted it into OpenOffice Writer 3.1 with Lohit Telugu font version 2.4.5 selected.
Everything seem to be working fine though the newer Lohit font looks smaller than an older version of Lohit font I was using earlier.

But the main problem here is, a dash (-) becomes an empty space. It looks like a long space that is equivalent two chars approx.
I also tried to type a dash right in the OO but it doesn't work.

If I select Pothana2000 font instead of Lohit in OO, all my dashes work fine.
The Pothana2000 is another Unicode font for Telugu but I love the rounded letter shapes of Lohit font so much!

Thanks a lot for this beautiful Lohit Telugu font.

That works! Thanks!!
I am also seeing the icon is corrected to show a Telugu letter. The earlier version was showing the letters of some other language!
