[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 827516] New: [kn_IN] Vowel Signs U and UU do not correctly attach to many consonants in Lohit Kannada
by Red Hat Bugzilla 12 Dec '17

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827516 Bug ID: 827516 QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org Severity: unspecified Version: 16 Priority: unspecified CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute(a)redhat.com Assignee: psatpute(a)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(a)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! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 839303] New: [ta_IN] Submission of glyphs for Tamil fractions/symbols to be included in the Lohit Tamil fonts
by Red Hat Bugzilla 12 Dec '17

Seven of these are being proposed for the Tamil BMP block and rest for a new Tamil Supplement block in the SMP. For the glyphs required for the code chart I have largely devised new glyphs based on existing Lohit Tamil glyphs under the derivative rights granted by the OFL. Some glyphs which could not be derived, I created myself using Inkscape and other tools. I would like to donate all these glyphs to the Lohit project under the OFL for eventual inclusion into the Lohit Tamil/Tamil Classical fonts. For now they may be included in the PUA of an unofficial fork of the Lohit Tamil fonts. When they are eventually encoded in Unicode, they may be officially mapped to the new codepoints and included in the official distribution of the Lohit Tamil/Tamil Classical fonts. Using Lohit Tamil glyphs for Unicode code chart: ------------------------------------------------ In the proposal, I am also requesting the Unicode / ISO 10646 project editors to use the Lohit Tamil font for the Unicode Tamil code charts (Tamil block, and newly proposed Tamil Supplement block) because: 1) When the new characters are encoded and my glyphs used for the code chart, it would look good to maintain stylistic uniformity in the code chart, and my designed glyphs are stylistically like the Lohit Tamil glyphs as they are mostly derived from them. So it would be good to use Lohit Tamil glyphs throughout. 2) There are currently 72 Tamil characters in Unicode 6.1.0. The present proposal almost doubles the number with 62 new characters. It would be a significant and unnecessary effort for anyone else to duplicate my glyph design work for so many characters to keep in with the current Tamil code chart font style. So switching to Lohit Tamil for all glyphs is easier and advisable. 3) Personally I think the glyphs of Lohit Tamil are much "cleaner" than the existing Tamil code chart font, and more representative of the nature and beauty of the Tamil script. 4) The OFL already permits the use of the Lohit Tamil font (and its derivatives) for any purpose, so there are (hopefully) no legal issues pertaining which need to be cleared between Unicode and Red Hat (but of course, IANAL). I also sincerely request the cooperation of the Lohit / Fedora / Red Hat people in permitting the Lohit Tamil glyphs to be used for the Unicode Tamil code charts (i.e. for two blocks). Fonts with new glyphs: ---------------------- I attach herewith a ZIP file containing three font files: 1) Lohit Tamil font, with newly proposed character glyphs mapped to the PUA. 2) Lohit Tamil Classical font, likewise. 3) Lohit Tamil Chart font, containing only glyphs required for the code chart (for existing and new characters, totalling 134 in number, across two blocks Tamil and Tamil Supplement) mapped to the existing and proposed characters for convenience of Unicode / ISO 10646 editors. Behaviour of new characters and requirement from the fonts' side: ----------------------------------------------------------------- None of the newly proposed characters are combining characters in the sense of combining marks. However, most of them are proposed for a new SMP Tamil block and care might need to be taken for proper mapping so that on all platforms the SMP characters are accessible. There is only one sequence of characters which needs to ligate: TAMIL DIGIT ONE ௧ + TAMIL SIGN KALAM (which looks like TAMIL LETTER LLA ள) should always ligate. I have also provided the ligature glyph after the glyphs for the individual characters (mapped to PUA E03F) in the fonts 1 and 2 above. I have not added any substitution mapping however as it is for now only temporarily in the PUA. Etcetera: --------- It is my intention to submit the proposal within a week or so and I will upload/link here a copy of the proposal. If at all any changes are required to the set of glyphs as a result of any feedback from scholars or other sources, I will upload fresh TTF font files. I thank everyone, especially Pravin Satpute, for their support regarding this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Strictly speaking nakaarapollu means nakaara + pollu=virama so regular form of vowelless-NA న్ is also nakaarapollu but Telugu old grammarian Brown has specifically called a distinct form as nakaarapollu.

(See https://www.redhat.com/archives/lohit-devel-list/2012-February/msg00011.html) As a Sanskrit/Vedic scholar I very much welcome this. However, it would be even greater if the separate Vedic characters that are encoded in the Vedic Extensions block (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1CD0.pdf) created in Unicode 5.2 along with Devanagari Extended were also supported. As Devanagari is the script mainly used for Sanskrit and especially Vedic printings nowadays, it would be best to add the characters initially to the Lohit Devanagari font so that it can combine properly with the Devanagari characters. If at all there is future demand for the glyphs to be added to the font of another script (like Telugu etc which are also often used for Vedic texts in those areas) the glyphs can easily be copied to those fonts in the future. OpenType normally cannot join base characters from one font with combining marks from a different font. So a separate Lohit Vedic font with purely Vedic characters is not possible. As the glyphs from the Vedic Extensions block have very simple shapes, it would hopefully be easy to design those glyphs and add them to the fonts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.5.1 How reproducible: Install Lohit Devanagari 2.5.1 font. Actual results: The Devanagari-specific Vedic characters especially from the Devanagari Extended block are available. The generic Vedic characters from the Vedic Extensions block are not available. Expected results: It is desirable to have the generic Vedic characters from the Vedic Extensions block also. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
