Description of problem: Any of the dependent vowels i.e. characters in the range U0B3C-U0B57 can not be used with U0B71. The dotted circle indicating invalide sequence of characters appear as shown in the attached image. This is a rendering engine issue. This problem needs to be fixed in Pango by defining U0B71 as a regular consonant. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fonts-oriya-2.0.1-1 Pango-1.4.3 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gedit 2. Select rawcode for i/p 3. Type following rawcode sequence: 0B71 0B3E Actual results: U0B71 followed by dependent vowel along with the dotted circle Expected results: 0b71 with dependent vowel without dotted circle Additional info:

Created attachment 136320 [details] Pango patch for orya_class_table to include U0B71 as an Oriya consonant
This is a bug in Pango. Indic class table for Oriya does not include U0B71. This affects the rendering of U0B71 as a common consonant. I have added a patch for Pango above. It works correctly without any modification in font.
This bug has already been fixed in pango upstream. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355697
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
Fixed in FC6.
