Bug ID: 978218
Summary: [ml_IN] should we have lohit-malayalam-fonts as a
default font in Fedora?
Product: Fedora
Version: 19
Component: lohit-malayalam-fonts
Severity: unspecified
Priority: unspecified
Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com
Reporter: pnemade(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute(a)redhat.com
Description of problem:
we recently found some issues in F19 DVD media where gnu-free-fonts when
removed fallback comes to smc-meera-fonts but it failed to render I guess so
lohit-malayalam-fonts package added into kickstart. See bug 977764.
Then we found that Malayalam language Orthography coverage is FULL for
FreeSerif.ttf and Lohit-Malayalam.ttf
but Meera.ttf is not having complete coverage. See
"missingValues":"U+0d44 (ൄ), U+0d62 (ൢ), U+0d63 (ൣ), U+0d70 (൰), U+0d71
(൱),
U+0d72 (൲), U+0d73 (൳), U+0d74 (൴), U+0d75 (൵)"
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lohit-malayalam-fonts-2.5.3-1.fc19.noarch
smc-meera-fonts-5.0.1-5.fc19.noarch
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual results:
Meera is defualt with 90% coverage
Expected results:
should have Lohit Malayalam as a default as it covers 100% glyphs.

U+0D44, U+0D62 and U+0D63 (Vedic)
U+0D70 to U+0D75 are Malayalam fraction
These are recently added to Unicode and not frequently used characters. Even
Malayalam orth file in fontconfig does not list these characters.
So missing these characters does not affect much making Meera as a default
fonts.
On the other hand community prefers Meera (Traditional script) fonts. So we
should move with it.
But i think having Lohit Malayalam in the default installation will be good. As
it provide more coverage and also support Malayalam new script, so does not
make redundancy with Meera.
So we should install Lohit Malayalam as well but Meera should be default font
for Malayalam.

I'm curious: there seem to be two differing references of coverage here. Parag
is using some unspecified orthography file, and that differs from fontconfig's
orth file? Do we have another bug here?

I thought fontaine is easy to use tool to find language coverage from a font.
Looks its not the case then.
Paul,
How can we check only orthography coverage for any font?

Fontconfig's view of the language coverage:
fc-scan -f '%{lang}' <filename>

Thanks pravins for your conclusion about Malayalam rendering issue in bug
977764.
I just used fc-validate and found all the three fonts supports "Satisfy the
coverage for ml language". So, I don't see this bug is valid anymore but
definitely we got some valuable information here.
Feel free to close this as a NOTABUG based on
