I tried to install lohit-tamil-fonts-2.4.4-3.fc12.noarch.rpm in my Fedora 11 but it fails. Error message indicates failed dependencies as follows : rpmlib(PayloadIsXz)<=5.201 is needed by lohit-tamil-fonts-2.4.4-3.fc12.noarch.rpm and same indication for other lohit fonts packages each of which is of version 2.4.0-1.fc11.noarch and also for openoffice.org-langpack-ta_IN-1:3.1.0-11.3.fc11-i586. To Check whether rawhide version 2.4.4-2.fc12.noarch for lohit-tamil could be installed first and then try the above bug fixed update, I enabled rawhide repo and tried installing 2.4.4-2. That also fails with error message showing the need of rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) Later I tried in my Ubuntu to first convert the rpm to deb with alien. It failed due to not being able to open the archive. To extract the font .ttf file only, I tried to open the rpm as archive with "mc" (Midnight Commander) as well as the default archive manager of the gnome GUI and both were unable to open the archive. rpm2cpio command usage to extract a file (http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-extract-an-rpm-package-without-installing-it.html) also fails. However rpm -q <package> -l command works to show the presence of the .ttf file inside. It would help if you could provide a link to download the font file since only it is need for the testing on whether bug fix has worked. K. Sethu
hmm, you can get ttf file from rpm as well but anyway i have uploaded for you http://pravins.fedorapeople.org/Lohit-Tamil.ttf

Created attachment 373469 [details] 0B95(Tamil letter KA) doesn't merge with 0BB7 (Tamil letter SSA) Above combination was tested against lohit-tamil-fonts-2.4.4-3.fc12.noarch.rpm.
I tested in Ubuntu platforms the bug fixed font http://pravins.fedorapeople.org/Lohit-Tamil.ttf that Pravin points to in Comment #4 . I confirm that the bug is solved. In Ubuntu (and similarly other Debian based systms) until this bug fixed update for ttf-indic-fonts-core comes onstream we can copy the bug-fixed Lohit-Tamil.ttf to the existing font name which is lohit_ta.ttf . For example for Ubuntu the steps are as follows: From a terminal 1. Close all opened apps which use Lohit Tamil for rendering any content 2. cd to the folder in which the bug fixed Lohit-Tamil.ttf is downloaded. 3. enter the following command sudo cp Lohit-Tamil.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-indic-fonts-core/lohit_ta.ttf ~Sethu
