[Bug 1619530] Replacement character shown in Georgian (ქართული) on the “Welcome to Fedora 29” page

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619530 --- Comment #30 from George Machitidze <giomac(a)gmail.com> --- + Georgian glyphs in Google Noto are terrible and inadequately large when compared to other fonts containing Georgian glyphs and VERY large compared to glyphs written in Latin with the same Google Noto. Probably, that's the reason why nobody uses it here :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619530 --- Comment #29 from George Machitidze <giomac(a)gmail.com> --- Not that we just don't use them, WE DON'T HAVE THEM, therefore, we don't have mixed casing at all. There are no capital letters. "Mtavruli" is just a representation, it's not a case or capitalization. You can read it in attached document "Mtavruli-style letters are never used as “capitals”; a word is always entirely presented in mtavruli or not" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619530 --- Comment #28 from Alan <alan.g12r(a)outlook.com> --- It's a good idea to switched to Google Noto as a default font for Georgian, or use it as an alternative to BPG. P.S. We use Mtavruli characters almost everywhere and we definitely need them. You can see a lot of examples at the end of this document: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2016/16034-n4707-georgian.pdf See also this Q&A: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17045-georgian-resp.pdf In modern Georgian, Mtavruli is not used for mixed/title casing, only with the All Caps function, but it does NOT mean, that we don't have uppercase or they are not capital letters. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619530 --- Comment #27 from George Machitidze <giomac(a)gmail.com> --- direct answer to this issue is to have all characters in lowercase, because this is how Georgian language works - WE DON"T HAVE UPPERCASE characters, don't use them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619530 George Machitidze <giomac(a)gmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |giomac(a)gmail.com --- Comment #26 from George Machitidze <giomac(a)gmail.com> --- Hello, One thing I can tell - we don't have a case in Georgian alphabet, some fonts include uppercase characters, some don't, but they are not really uppercase, they're just another set of glyphs or fonts inserted in the collection. They never should be mixed - we don't do that. Georgian devs are not clueless about licensing, we've been in quite long strict discussions about it since 2004. I have direct contact with all original font developers (Including mentioned BPG), so, I can check anything we need. Dejavu family includes fonts originally created by BPG, and Georgian LUG members were quite careful when we've asked him to include his works and release them as GPL licensed so we could include it in Linux distributions. Same applies to the keyboard layouts - that was done at the same time... What exactly is the case? How can I help? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sounds like Noto Georgian may be a better bet then. Not to mention the BPG family names typos. > We really need someone to revive the upstream dejavu project and restart > merging fixes and enhancements, since the original authors lost the drive. That would be great indeed. > (Can’t really blame them when downstreams like Fedora Workstation removed > DejaVu as default font just because it was steady and “boring”). That is not completely accurate, Dejavu is still default, just not for Gnome UI chrome. (And that was encouraged by Gnome, not particularly Fedora Workstation.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
