You will need to use a bug-fixed ttfautohint to re-generate the lohit devanagari font. Version affected: lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.95.4-5.fc29.noarch +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1646687 +++ Description of problem: This was discussed in freetype-devel for much of early October under the thread "rendering issues with xpdf (and other viewers)". upstream patch (this was applied after 1.8.2) - you will need to push this to all the fonts affected - in particular, lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.95.4-5.fc29.noarch commit f18b7c859c92111446ca991743dd709e347d0301 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Werner Lemberg <wl> Date: Sat Oct 6 09:04:35 2018 +0200 tafpgm.c: Fix stem width offset handling in storage area. Problem reported by Hin-Tak Leung <htl10.net>. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ttfautohint-1.8.1-4.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. "ftview 53 /usr/share/fonts/lohit-devanagari/Lohit-Devanagari.ttf" 2. navigate to glyph idx 472 with F9/F10/F11/F12 3. use up/down arrow key to see that the circular ring of 12 dots disappears and becomes 3 dots, etc. Actual results: 3 dots and fewer than 12 dots for many sizes below about 60. Expected results: 12 dots for idx 472 at all sizes. Additional info: This was discussed on freetype-devel for much of early October under 'rendering issues with xpdf (and other viewers)'
ttfautohint-1.8.2-1.fc29 is available in testing; a buildroot override will need to be created when you are ready to rebuild with it.
