Summary: Latin ligatures need 'liga' standard ligature lookups
Regression: ---
Story Points: ---
Classification: Fedora
OS: All
Reporter: deron.meranda(a)gmail.com
Type: Bug
Documentation: ---
Hardware: All
Mount Type: ---
Status: NEW
Component: liberation-fonts
Product: Fedora
Description of problem:
Glyphs in the Latin Ligature block (U+FB00 .. U+FB06), such as "fi" and "fl",
should have the OpenType 'liga' lookup features defined. That will allow text
renderers to automatically apply the ligature glyph.
Additionally, for completeness, the ligature caret horizontal positions should
be appropriately set for these glyphs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liberation-fonts-2.00.0
Additional info:
You may need to solve bug #851790 first.
Also the "fi" (and "ffi" if existing) should exclude dotless-i
scripts/languages, e.g., Turkish.

Summary: Font hinting and aliasing not properly configured on
fresh Fedora 19 install.
Product: Fedora
Version: 19
Component: fontconfig

Created attachment 830756
--> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=830756&action=edit
These are the configurations for 10-antialias.conf and 10-hinting-slight.conf
Description of problem:
The fonts in Fedora 19 look odd, thin and the font alignment is totally off
resulting in unreadable or very poor quality text. Setting Gnome Shell's or
even Mate's anti-aliasing font-configuration here does nothing to enhance text
quality. Web-pages in browsers such as Chrome and Firefox look ugly and
strange. Other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Unixes like Mac OS X do
not have this problem, on fresh installs fonts look crisp, beautiful and full.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)
How reproducible:
Do a fresh install of Fedora 19 from the install images, look at the fonts.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a fresh install of Fedora 19 from the install images.
2. Attempt to use the desktop environment settings to adjust the font aliasing
and hinting.
3. Look at text rendering versus that in other distributions.
Actual results:
Text is rendered in a very odd and thin way, kerning is also off and the fonts
characters are misaligned, in Fedora resulting in a degraded visual experience
especially in web-browsers,
Expected results:
Text should render in a similar beautiful and smooth fashion the way it does on
other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Unixes such as Mac OS X.
Additional info:
Manual configuration is required to fix this by creating the proper symbolic
links between '/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/' and '/etc/fonts/conf.d' for
the following configurations which are installed in 'conf.avail' but just never
configured out of the box:
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf'
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf'
It also requires the creation of the following two font configurations which
are attached to this bug report and the creation of the corresponding symbolic
links in '/etc/fonts/conf.d':
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-antialias.conf'
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf'

Own encodings, encodings/large dirs, check/create large
xorg-x11-fonts-update-dirs invokes mkfontscale on encodings/large without
checking if it exists. And the encodings and encodings/large dirs should quite
probably be owned by this package because xorg-x11-fonts-update-dirs creates
them if they don't exist.
Patch attached, ok if I push and build this for rawhide?

Summary: Please add Vedic Extensions to Lohit fonts

Summary: Please add Vedic Extensions to Lohit fonts

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).
