Created attachment 328437 [details] Incorrect rendering of U0CAA U0CCA U0CAB U0CCA Wrong Conjuct combinations are formed for U0CAA+U0CCA, U0CAB+U0CCA, U0CAA+U0CCB, and U0CAB+U0CCB as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fonts-kannada-2.1.5-3.fc8 How reproducible: 1. Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gnome-character-map. 2. Select U0CAA followed by U0CCA followed by U0CAB followed by U0CCA. Actual results: As shown in the attached image Expected results: As shown by the following steps: 1. Install http://kannadakasturi.com/font/brhknd.ttf. 2. Open http://kannadakasturi.com/includes/transliterate.asp. 3. Enter the combination poPo. Additional info: 1. The fonts from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56358 also show the glyphs like kannadakasturi.com instead of like Lohit Kannada. 2. This is similar to the earlier issue reported here. 3. Using the program from http://gfontview.sourceforge.net/ it is seen that there already are glyphs in the font named U0CAC_U0CCA.pstf [can be renamed to the more appropriate U0CAA_U0CCA.pstf?] and U0CAB_U0CC3.abvs_U0CC0.psts [can be renamed to U0CAB_U0CCA.pstf?] which show the conjuncts like kannadakasturi.com. Only the mappings between the character combinations and the glyphs to be displayed seem to be incorrect. Hence I assume Lohit Kannada is at fault and not the other fonts.
The brhknd font mentioned is not a unicode/opentype font. Please provide correct screenshots instead.
Created attachment 328952 [details] Screenshot of current and correct rendering Rahul, The above said rendering is there in Lohit-Kannada also. You can have look at the screen shot attached Shankar
Please note that there already are glyphs in the font named: U0CAC_U0CCA.pstf [can be renamed to the more appropriate U0CAA_U0CCA.pstf?], U0CAB_U0CC3.abvs_U0CC0.psts [can be renamed to U0CAB_U0CCA.pstf?], U0CAA_U0CCB.pstf, and U0CAB_U0CCB.pstf, which show the correct conjuncts. Only some ligature rules in the font should be changed, like in the previous patch.
Rahul, Any updates in this?
Shankar, this is same as 479100. Similar fix will be released in next lohit version.
Fixed in lohit-fonts-2.3.8.
