This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Created attachment 413942 [details] ligature describing need for extra space below and above this is not metacity issue, this is problem from fonts reason behind this is font metrics of Meera Rachana: Ascent: 1638, Descent: 410 Meera: Ascent: 1147, Descent: 901 Lohit: Ascent: 650, Descent: 374 some ligature of Meera requires this space see bug #523454 I don't think it is specific to Meera of Malayalam, we noticed problems with Panjabi and Telugu as well. Latin characters along with Panjabi was even getting cut at the bottom. Title bar is of expected size with other fonts, but we need to fix it for Meera as well. We know Ascent and Descent of Meera differs from other fonts, but if you look at the values you have given, even though the Descent is more Ascent is proportionally less. So how would that affect this bug? metacity calculates the text height == pango_font_metrics ascent (metrics) + descent (metrics) and my understanding is the metacity is right. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530085#c16 Should this bug be reassigned? for Meera this can be fixed by changing the fontconfig configuration.
current configuration is,
<match target="font">
<test name="family">
<string>Meera</string>
</test>
<edit name="matrix" mode="assign">
<times>
<name>matrix</name>
<matrix>
<double>1.2</double><double>0</double>
<double>0</double><double>1.2</double>
</matrix>
</times>
</edit>
</match>
<times> and </times> should be removed.
Praveen can you attach images, showing the difference? Created attachment 422867 [details]

fixed in smc-fonts-04.2-8.el6 tag <times> removed from fonts tested Package: smc-meera-fonts-04.2-11.el6.noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report.
