           Summary: [ml_IN] Addition of glyphs to Lohit Malayalam to
                    support recently proposed Unicode characters

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.

Yes, Definitely !!

http://www.unicode.org/versions/beta.html

"The next version of the Unicode Standard will be Version 6.3.0, planned for
release in September 2013"   

Looking forward to see these characters in 6.3.0

--- Comment #3 from Shriramana Sharma <samjnaa(a)gmail.com&gt; ---
Please see http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html. The Archaic II is in
stage 6 and others are in stage 3. Only stage 8 characters will be part of
Unicode 6.3. Stage 7 characters will be part of Unicode 7.0 and others probably
only later.

--- Comment #5 from Shriramana Sharma <samjnaa(a)gmail.com&gt; ---
No you did not miss anything. I thought they would publish all stage 8
characters as part of Unicode 6.3 but apparently they chose to do a minimal
release so no new Malayalam characters were added.

Next to be added (stage 8, probably Unicode 7.0):

0D01     1     MALAYALAM SIGN CANDRABINDU

and after that (stage 6):

0D5F     1     MALAYALAM LETTER ARCHAIC II

(Devanagari, Bengali, Telugu and Kannada also have proposed additions. See the
pipeline, stage 7/8 chars.)

--- Comment #7 from Shriramana Sharma <samjnaa(a)gmail.com&gt; ---
Please note that the extra glyphs does not include the candrabindu required for
0D01 Malayalam Candrabindu probably to be released in the next Unicode version. 

Candrabindu characters for Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada are all due soon and
may easily be copied from Lohit Devanagari. Do you want me to open a separate
bug for that?

I was always missing Candrabindu in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada. Glad to see
this happening.

I think good to have this tracking bug for now.

In between we are soon starting Lohit Malayalam development for lohit2 projct.
Will drop email on lohit devel for it.

--- Comment #9 from Fedora End Of Life <endoflife(a)fedoraproject.org&gt; ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

--- Comment #11 from Shriramana Sharma <samjnaa(a)gmail.com&gt; ---
Note that the same glyph for candrabindu 0D01 must also be taken for:

0C01 Telugu Sign Combining Candrabindu Above
0C81 Kannada Sign Candrabindu

I don't want to submit a separate bug for that since the work is minimal. So
please do it along with this one. Thanks.

Fair enough. 

I did not see U+0D5F still not available in Unicode 7.

Can you provide list of characters available in Unicode and need to add in
Lohit here.

Not sure what you mean. The only missing characters from
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D00.pdf are 0D00, 0D3B and 0D3C which are
expected for the forthcoming Unicode version as per
http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html.
