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).

1.07.1
Additional info:
I'm using arch linux.

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.
