Moving to FC5Target, as FC4 is 'done', barring release blockers that pop up.
I have compared some Indic strings with English and Chinese strings, it seems that English and Chinese are rendered aligned to the middle, but Indic string aligned to the top in pango. I am not sure if this is desired Indic behavior, but this is a what pango does. Any indic native speaker could confirm this?
Can you guys file this upstream and post the bug to this report? thanks.
Lawrence has submitted this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327163
this is upstreamde now.
The problem we are seeing here is simply that the indic and latin fonts which are used have wildly different ascent/descent. GTK+ does not do any kind of baseline alignment in situations like this, so text will only line up if the ascent/descent of all involved fonts are relatively similar
Not fixable in fc5 timeframe.

Rahul, could you take a look if this is still a problem? The upstream bug is still open at least.
This was a problem with the auto-hinting done by freetype. Now that problem has been solved since freetype-2.3.5. So this bug does not exists any more.We may safely close this one.
Thanks for letting us know.
