Sans test result.

Red color are the 1.04 glyphs. Black color are the 1.03 glyphs.

If there are glyphs of black colors behind red colors which means their
location has differences.

The issue about Romanian incorrectly-generated characters (cedilla-below instead
of comma-below) was recently corrected in bug #13277 at freedesktop.org.

Please see comments #82 and #83, with the appropriate patch:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13277

Would you please include this correction in Red Hat/Fedora ASAP, since it
affects *thousands* of documents and webpages generated in Romanian language ?

Thanks a lot,
Răzvan

Hi Răzvan,

We are still in the progress of hosting the font correctly on fedorahosted.org.
There were some work needed to be done to ensure the current SFD sources with
minimal differences from the original TTF files that last delivered by the
manufacturer.

Once the hosting process is done, we could start all the patching process.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
