We advocate building fonts from sources but do not do it for lohit which is a Red Hat/Fedora font project. Please make the lohit package generate fonts from sfds (as the dejavu people showed, regular building from sources helps improve both fonts and font tools)
Certainly, I am looking forward to do that soonest possible.
I suggest doing this after F-11 GA - it is too risky at this point.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
fixed in rawhide please note that lohit-fonts is now split in lohit-<lang-name>-fonts and bug is fixed in split packages
