Hm, but it would be good if you could tell FontForge to autohint the glyphs
because non-Fedora distributions are also using the Lohit fonts. Frankly, I'm
also using the Lohit fonts when I boot up into Windows XP! So I would prefer
the hinting to *not* be distro-dependent.

Now I have checked whether all the requested changes are done and I observe
that the glyph for TAMIL NUMBER ONE THOUSAND is as yet unchanged in both Tamil
normal and Tamil Classical fonts. Please see the relevant glyph in attachment
#572886.

Next, I also note that the glyphs for ONE HUNDRED and ONE THOUSAND have moved
somewhat downwards in both fonts. Please correct them to their original
positions.

Do you want me to file a separate bug for the one symbol pending UTC editorial
approval?
