Rendering on Win XP will be different from Win7 and later versions in some special cases. The Unicode PR-37 was not implemented in the rendering engine of Win XP. It was implemented on Win 7 (or was it Vista? Anyhow, nobody is using Vista as such :-) ) and later. This is my understanding.
Yes, do agree. Supporting both knda and knd2 is challenging. But we have to try for it since Lohit fonts are used as a Web fonts as well and it should render correctly on most of the platform. I think by Alpha release we will have better picture.

Hi All,
First some update on existing activities of lohit2 project, planning for
Lohit-Devanagari Beta and Lohit-Gujarati Alpha release by the next week.
Regarding Lohit-Kannada other than same improvements for other script
fonts like
1. Following AGL while renaming lohit-gujarati 2. Feature file separate as done in lohit-devanagari 3. Supporting "knda" and "knd2" Opent type tag 4. Thorough testing with Harfbuzz and Uniscribe (will test with Windows
XP as well to make sure webfonts will render correctly everywhere)
There are some more things needs attention 1. Removing unnecessary glyphs. Bug for that already reported by
Shriramana [a] 2. Some other needed attentions are [b][c]
From designing perspective, i dont know why each glyph in Lohit Kannada
carries negative witdh, see right bearing. It will be good if we can get rid of it. It will be appreciated if someone can help me to fix this.
These are the points from myside, if anything missing or need attention
please let me know. On the top of this need lots of help from you all for testing activity.
Development is going on https://github.com/pravins/lohit2 repo. Once get
ready for alpha, will merge it main lohit repo.
Best Regards, Pravin Satpute
