Thanks for the report. So it is not needed for the inscript map? Would you be able to make a patch of "/usr/share/m17n/bn-probhat.mim" to handle that?
Is the glyph already included in our bengali font btw?
No, U+09CE is not within our font package, fonts-bengali-1.10-2.1. Hmm...also noticed that U+09CE is not in the Unicode 4.0, could be part of revision thereafter.
The glyph is present in the ttfonts-bn-1.10-1.EL version that i am using in RHEL4. But the character can be written with >1 keypresses. Jens, what kind of a patch can be prepared for this? If i know correctly a XKB patch has been submitted for this at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1012. Will this help? hth Runa
I'm confused now: as far as i can see U+09CE is already bound to "*" in bn-probhat.mim: ("*" ?à§) and I'm able to input it with scim-m17n. I also agree with Lawrence that it does not display with the font in fc5 anyway, just appears as a missing glyph box. How do you write the character with >1 keystrokes?
Doesn't display with RHEL 4 ttfonts-bn-1.10-1.EL either for me.

The glyph in question needs to be moved to U+09CE. [Re-assigned to fonts-bengali.]
The keysequence for U09CE on bn-probhat on RHEL4 is: f/+- + is ZWJ - is ZWNJ
The keysequence for U09CE on bn-probhat on RHEL4 is: f/- - is ZWNJ The ZWJ is not to be used. Apologies for the mess. thanks Runa
(bn-probhat.mim should get fixed in 1.3.3-2.)
Hi, I tested the fonts on FC5 test3 : fonts-bengali-1.10-2.1. The U09CE character is not showing when input using RAW UNICODE Value in scim. I am getting queries from the community about Unicode 4.1 compliant Lohit-Bengali. As of now I have pointed them to the fedora download site but since its the same version they are going to come back complaining. any updates on this issue and any answers that i can give back to the community. There are quite a few fonts that are currently available at http://www.ekushey.org/projects/otf_bangla_fonts/ [ the same group who were distributing proprietory MS fonts]. They have also named one of their fonts as ekushey Lohit. thanks a lot runa
hi, sorry to be a bother, but are there any updates on this issue as i m getting persistent queries from the community. thanks runa
So the work of this is to move the glyph from the gsub table (which combined by keystroke f/- where - is ZWNJ) to codepoint U+09CE using a font editor.
Member from bn_IN community has reported 4 missing conjuncts [rarely used] in lohit: 1. ma+tha (09AE+09A5) 2. la+ta (09B2+09A4) 3. la+dha (09B2+09A7) 4. ka+Ta+ra (0995+099F+09B0) He says that he has fixed #4 and has put up the screenshot at http://ubuntu-in.org/lohit-test.pdf He also has fixed up the 09CE issue on the .ttf. I have requested him to put up the corrected version at a public place which he would be doing soon. He wants to know if Red Hat would be accepting the changes made by him. thanks Runa
Modified fonts have been put up at: http://ubuntu-in.org/ghoseb/lohit-new.tar.gz

I tested the fonts. The issues listed have been fixed. But the base fonts that he has used is wrong.[lohit-new.png] Looks like a SHREE version that had been rejected earlier on. Have pointed him to the lastest version in the Fedora Development tree [lohit-old.png] Additionally, I am not really sure about the legalities involved with the name "Lohit" for the modified fonts. is it ok? thanks Runa
Created attachment 132816 [details] Patch attached Patch has been attached to resolve the issue. (Though this patach will also resolve BZ# 197216) Thanks
installed the latest fonts from rawhide. The U09CE character is not available with this update. Require test RPm to test the Patch updated. Version-Release number of selected component fonts-bengali-2.0-1
FIXED in RAWHIDE. fonts-indic-2.0-2]
This problem has been fixed now. unicode char U09CE is appearing properly now by typing in RAWCODE and Pressing <shift>+8 (*) selecting Probhat keyboard Layout from the SCIM-Bengali. Tested Component version : fonts-bengali-2.0.1-1. (FC6 Test2) So, I am closing this bug for now.
