Bug ID: 982601 Summary: [ml_IN] Addition of glyphs to Lohit Malayalam to support recently proposed Unicode characters Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: lohit-malayalam-fonts Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Assignee: psatpute@redhat.com Reporter: samjnaa@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute@redhat.com
Created attachment 770964 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=770964&action=edit Glyphs for Malayalam Archaic II, minor fractions and Chillu LLL
Recently I and Cibu Johny have proposed various characters to be added to the Malayalam Unicode block and in the last May 2013 UTC meeting they have been approved and further (IIUC) approved by the WG2 meeting last month in Lithunia. The links are provided below:
N4429 Proposal to encode Malayalam minor fractions http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n4429.pdf
N4428 Proposal to encode MALAYALAM LETTER CHILLU LLL http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n4428.pdf
N4312 Proposal for MALAYALAM LETTER ARCHAIC II http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n4312.pdf
This is a placeholder bug (like bug #839303 for Tamil fractions and symbols) to ensure that the requisite glyphs are added immediately once the characters are published in the Unicode standard finally.
I have designed the glyphs for these proposed characters partially based on existing glyphs from the Lohit Malayalam font and would like to submit these as my contributions to the Lohit project under the OFL.
