Bug ID: 827516 QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org Severity: unspecified Version: 16 Priority: unspecified CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute@redhat.com Assignee: psatpute@redhat.com Summary: [kn_IN] Vowel Signs U and UU do not correctly attach to many consonants in Lohit Kannada Regression: --- Story Points: --- Classification: Fedora OS: Unspecified Reporter: samjnaa@gmail.com Type: Bug Documentation: --- Hardware: Unspecified Mount Type: --- Status: NEW Component: lohit-kannada-fonts Product: Fedora
Created attachment 588536 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=588536&action=edit ODT and PDF for test-case
Description of problem:
While most other CONSONANT + VOWEL SIGN combinations in Lohit Kannada are mapped to precomposed glyphs, there are no pre-composed glyphs for vowel signs U and UU except for the consonants PA, PHA and VA (where the stroke for U/UU needs to come from below the consonant rather than the normal right side of the consonant).
While in most cases, by virtue of appropriate RSB and LSB values of the consonant glyph and vowel sign glyph, the simple sequence of the two glyphs creates an appropriate appearance, this leaves out several instances where the glyphs do not overlap at all and hence appear disjointed. For a professional appearance of the font, this should be fixed.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.5.1
How reproducible:
Input all possible sequences of Kannada consonants with vowel signs U and UU. (See attached ODT for text. Use BabelMap [http://www.babelstone.co.uk/software/babelmap.html] if you want the codepoints.)
Actual results:
You can see (as in the attached PDF) that some consonants do not properly get attached to the vowel signs U and UU.
Expected results:
All consonants should properly get attached to the vowel signs U and UU.
Additional info:
Consonants which are not properly joined with vowel sign U:
KA* NYA DDA DA BA RA SSA** RRA LLLA***
* = see at high magnification ** = may need separate precomposed glyph with some adjustment to shape of left side of vowel sign *** = so-called FA of Kannada Unicode
Consonants which are not properly joined with vowel sign UU:
Those already listed above for U, plus GHA and LLA, due to the shorter height of the left-side ending node of this vowel sign.
I think in most cases appropriate kerning should solve the problem, except for SSA + -U/-UU, GHA + -UU and LLA + -UU where separate glyphs would be advisable.
It is curious to note that DDA DA and BA are all disjointed whereas their aspirated counterparts DDHA DHA and BHA which all have only an additional notch-like stroke at the bottom are correctly joined with the vowel sign. I think the LSB RSB values are carelessly allotted in some cases, unfortunately.
Other problems:
CU JU -- the pointed part on the left of the vowel sign U passes through the consonants and comes out above (see carefully) -- actually *negative* kerning is needed here so that the pointed part should only enter the consonant and not again exit it.
(It seems this problem does not occur for vowel sign UU due to the shorter height of the left-side ending node of this vowel sign which causes a problem with GHA and LLA instead -- see above!)
Note:
Unfortunately I will not be able to provide a TTF patch for this as I am already short of time on my official projects. Please take care of it. Thank you!

--- Comment #1 from Shriramana Sharma samjnaa@gmail.com --- As a spillover from bug #825104, let me move the issue of Kannada NYA ಞ not connecting properly with VS-U and -UU here.
Basically the problem is that the NYA consonant glyph ಞ does not have any attachment point near the bottom right side of its bounding box. Not being a Kannadiga, and without having any other proper attestation, I do not wish to cursively join the bottom portion of the ponytail to the top portion of the ು ೂ vowel sign which would seem a logical choice from one point of view. I fear that doing so may confuse the reader because the ponytail on the top right of ಞ may no longer be recognizable.
And I also realized that even in GHA ಘ there is no proper attachment point and we have to be satisfied with the leftmost extreme of the stroke of ು ೂ to overlap with some part of the right side of the consonant glyph. Likewise it can be done for ಞ also, and I think we have to be satisfied with that until/unless we get better attestation. (Note that I have pointed out that the leftmost extreme of ೂ is at a much lower height than of ು. So the ೂ glyph must either be totally replaced or replaced when coming after ಘ ಞ for overlapping with the top right portion of the consonant.)
I think you can achieve all this using proper kerning etc, and only for GHA ಘ and NYA ಞ you may need to design a slightly modified ು ೂ glyph (by increasing the height) as described above. I hope you can take care of it.

--- Comment #2 from Fedora End Of Life endoflife@fedoraproject.org --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
