Devanagari Nepali Variant 8
in fedora we are using Madan as a default font for Nepali, It is using proper Nepali shape did you installed madan-fonts? Yes! I have installed madan-fonts. They are fine but as Lohit Hindi is now Lohit Devanagari it should have variants for Languages. No Props, We will add these changes using locale feature Created attachment 456842 [details]
Reference for numerals
I have attached the reference. It is from following Book: कक्षा १० आयुर्वेद प्रथम संस्करण नेपाल सरकार शिक्षा तथा खेलकुद मन्त्रालय पाठ्यक्रम विकास केन्द्र सानोठिमी, भक्तपुर In English: Class 10 Ayurveda First Edition Government of Nepal Ministry of Education and Sports Curriculum Development Center Sanothimi, Bhaktapur lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.4.3-8.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.4.3-8.fc14 lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.4.3-8.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update lohit-devanagari-fonts'. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.4.3-8.fc14 lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.4.3-8.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. The updated version of lohit-devnagri-fonts have the updated glyph for ५ and ८, but still it does not look so good. Can we have a similar glyph from the font Madan2 (available as package madan-fonts)? I have included a comparison with one "good looking" glyph and the newer glyph. Hope this helps the designer.

Comparison of the New Glyph with an Standard one
I have included a comparison with one "good looking" glyph and the newer glyph. Hope this helps the designer.
we cant copy madan characters directly, as style of Madan and Lohit is different Lohit is Sans fonts with uniform width characters. Madan is Serif As a Nepali Language speaker i will appreciate patch from you for this, or let me know how can we improve it aesthetically See fontforge for improving shape in font file Created attachment 469929 [details]
Comparison of the new glyph of 8
For just a fact, I have seen this glyph in some Hindi book too. So this can a variant of ५ along with default for Nepali locale. BTW: Pravin! can you please tell any trick to open gedit in ne_NP locale without logging out in current session ? first close all instance of gedit and then run $LANG=ne_NP.UTF-8 gedit Thanks! |
Created attachment 456827 [details] Devanagari Nepali Variant 5 Description of problem: Nepali language a different glyph variant for 5 and 8. They don't use the default glyph - these ५ and ८. So, newer glyph should be developed for Nepali Language. And they should be by default for Nepali Locale. I have attached the screenshot of nepali variant devanagari numerals of 5 and 8. Unlike India(judging from Indian Hindi Language TV) Nepali makes heavy use of Devanagari Numerals. Roman numerals are not used, so this is an issue of high importance.
