Description of problem:
It is very good that Red Hat / Fedora takes steps to update Lohit fonts with
latest encoded Indic characters, especially Vedic characters included in
Devanagari Extended block. (See
https://www.redhat.com/archives/lohit-devel-list/2012-February/msg00011.html)
As a Sanskrit/Vedic scholar I very much welcome this. However, it would be even
greater if the separate Vedic characters that are encoded in the Vedic
Extensions block (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1CD0.pdf) created in
Unicode 5.2 along with Devanagari Extended were also supported.
As Devanagari is the script mainly used for Sanskrit and especially Vedic
printings nowadays, it would be best to add the characters initially to the
Lohit Devanagari font so that it can combine properly with the Devanagari
characters.
If at all there is future demand for the glyphs to be added to the font of
another script (like Telugu etc which are also often used for Vedic texts in
those areas) the glyphs can easily be copied to those fonts in the future.
OpenType normally cannot join base characters from one font with combining
marks from a different font. So a separate Lohit Vedic font with purely Vedic
characters is not possible.
As the glyphs from the Vedic Extensions block have very simple shapes, it would
hopefully be easy to design those glyphs and add them to the fonts.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.5.1
How reproducible:
Install Lohit Devanagari 2.5.1 font.
Actual results:
The Devanagari-specific Vedic characters especially from the Devanagari
Extended block are available. The generic Vedic characters from the Vedic
Extensions block are not available.
Expected results:
It is desirable to have the generic Vedic characters from the Vedic Extensions
block also.

Description of problem:
The lowercase U, V, W, X and Y in liberation sans at 18px and bold are
noticeably thinner than the other letters of the alphabet. It's quite
distracting. There is a screenshot attached.
It appears to happen only at 18px (bold).

Description of problem:
The liberation fonts have a strange glyph for the lowercase Greek gamma letter
whenever hinting is on. The hinting makes the glyph look similar to the 'y'
letter (the bottom part tends towards left).
This looks weird and is unique on this font family, AFAIK.

Screenshot for chillu conjuncts
Description of problem:
When chillu conjuncts are followed by any punctuation marks like "!", ".", ",",
"'", "?" or SPACE, ie when a word ends with a chillu conjunct, and followed by
a punctuation mark or a SPACE, using Backspace to delete the punctuation mark
or SPACE results in the deletion of chillu conjunct together with the
punctuation mark/SPACE.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango 1.26.0-1.fc12 i686
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gedit
2. type any of chillu conjunct, eg: 0D28, 0D4D, 200D
OR
type a word ending with chillu conjunct, eg: 0D05, 0D35, 0D28, 0D4D, 200D
3. type any punctuation marks like "!", ".", ",", "'", "?" or SPACE
4. Press Backspace
Actual results:
When using Backspace after chillu conjunct followed by punctuation mark or
SPACE, instead of deleting punctuation mark or SPACE only, the chillu conjunct
also gets deleted.
Expected results:
When using Backspace after chillu conjunct followed by punctuation mark or
SPACE, only the punctuation mark/SPACE should get deleted.
Additional info:
1. This does not happen when chillu comes in between a word. eg: നന്മ (0D28,
0D28, 0D4D, 200D, 0D2E)
2. This issue is not present in oowriter and kwrite. When above steps are
reproduced, deletions happens in correct order.
Versions used:
libicu-4.2.1-6.fc12 i686
qt-4.5.2-22.fc12 i686
3. Screenshot attached for chillu conjuncts and eg of words with chillu

Summary: [RFE] Allow wildcards/regexps in rpm deps

Classification: Fedora
(this is mostly a yum-level RFE, but it would be nice if we kept the same
depsolving logic in both apps)
The problem:
Selecting a font is a multi-criterium operation. We need to match on font
family, font style, language support, unicode support, etc. At any time all of
just some of those selection criterii can be provided by the user or
applications.
To have features like font auto-installation work reliably, this matching needs
to extend to the package database
Right now rpm is only allowing to specify atomic provides, so we can have a
font package that
Provides font(dejavusans)
and
Provides
font(:lang=el)
but there is no warranty both those provides are belonging to the same font.
There is no way to distinguish between a package that includes an actual greek
dejavusans and a package that includes a dejavusans greek-less file and another
totally different greek font
To workaround this rpm limitation we've been asking packagers to put font files
belonging to different font families in different packages. However:
1. many still don't
2. it's not technically possible for all font formats, for example the ttc font
format allows mixing of fonts with different characteristics in a single file
The ideal solution:
Ability to have Provides like:
font(comma-separated font name list|comma-separated style list|comma-separated
lang list) (rough mockup that probably needs refining)
And have deps like (dejavu|*|el) work in rpm
(yes a font can declare many different names, be available in many different
styles, cover many different languages)
For ttc files we'd then generate one Provides for each font included in the ttc
bundle
