    Hi All,<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We identified couple of bugs against 2.93.0 release of
    lohit-devanagari. While more working on same bugs we saw some more
    opportunity for improvements from glyph positioning tables (GPOS)
    and using references of glyphs (reusing existing glyphs) rather than
    copying complete shape.<br>
    <br>
    <b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Following </b><b><b>improvements&nbsp; </b>done in this release:</b><br>
    <ul>
      <li>Positioning lookups cleanup. (Removed 3 unnecessary lookups)</li>
      <li>Improved grid fitting (GASP) table.</li>
      <li>Renamed anchor points to DVAnchor, it will help in long term
        for making single Lohit font having all scripts.</li>
      <li>Using copy reference instead of copying whole glyph points.</li>
      <li>Auto test integrated with Makefile ($make test).</li>
      <li>Added Santali language (sat) in fontconfig file.</li>
      <li>Resolved #32: "&#2360;&#2352;&#2381;&#2357;&#2381;&#2361;&#2367;&#2360; does not render correctly"</li>
      <li>Resolved #33: "improper rendering for word : "&#2350;&#2334;&#2381;&#2351;&#2366;&#2306;&#2330;&#2381;&#2351;&#2366;""<br>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Updated lohit project page [1] for download details. Source
      tarball link [2], TTF tarball link [3] and webfonts format for
      Lohit is at [4].<br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; I will soon build this for Fedora. Feel free to report any
      issues in github[5]</p>
    <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I am happy with each release we are moving towards the
      perfection.<br>
      <br>
