problem is happening with languages sharing same script, example, as_IN, bn_IN, mai_IN, mr_IN, same bug 497768 is filed for mai already, so closing this as a duplicate of that *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 497768 ***
ya, it is same issue, but need to work on different locale, so better to have different bug for easy trace and verify. Thanks
We need fontconfig rules for all Indic Lohit fonts.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
we had some discussion earlier regarding this thing so for querying fontconfig for default font exact way is $fc-match :lang=mr-in $fc-match :lang=(langguage name)- (country code) see bug #546490
First of all, the behaviour on fontconfig might be changed in the future. keep your eye on Bug#546490 as Pravin said at the above comment. Speaking more technical thing, right now fontconfig doesn't apply the lang to the pattern-matching stage. basically it has been done in FcConfigSubstitute(). most applications using fontconfig is written like: FcConfigSubstitute(0, pat, FcMatchPattern); FcDefaultSubstitute(pat); So the lang from current locale is applied after the pattern-matching is finished. as per our current rules, we are expecting to see the lang thing at the pattern-matching. thus, the lang available at the font-matching stage doesn't affect as expected at all. upstream is aware of this issue but unfortunately no idea to fix that. see the thread in upstream list for more details what the problem is: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2009-November/003275.html
with rawhide, following is fixed: [aalam@blackhawk ~]$ LANG=mr_IN.UTF-8 fc-match Samyak-Devanagari.ttf: "Samyak Devanagari" "Regular" [aalam@blackhawk ~]$ LANG=hi_IN.UTF-8 fc-match Samyak-Devanagari.ttf: "Samyak Devanagari" "Regular" [aalam@blackhawk ~]$ LANG=mai_IN.UTF-8 fc-match Samyak-Devanagari.ttf: "Samyak Devanagari" "Regular" it is fixed in rawhide with following package: samyak-devanagari-fonts-1.2.1-7.fc13.noarch lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.4.3-5.fc13.noarch0 Is there any plan to build for f-12?
i think let it be for F-12, as Lohit Hindi and Lohit Nepali are same inside, so it will not make any difference in rendering
