Hi, Its been a long while since Devanagari font & rendering issues have been on forefront, with mostly occasional issues being reported. Earlier in past I had some discussions with some users, font designers and folks working on Indic rendering, that there are still some issues in rendering which keep coming up once in a while, either font related or due to changes in rendering code or with new releases (eg Firefox/OpenOffice), and many times typographic issues, which have somehow got overlooked.
There was a plan to have meeting sometime to get together interested persons and work on those issues. I have set up a rough plan here. http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/DevanagariFontMeeting Main aim being a) Have comprehensive text samples for font test suite b) Review all Devanagari fonts and their rendering issues in different applications c) work on to fix the issues. At least (a) & (b) will have to be worked on in the run up for the meeting. With (c) happening during the meeting. As such this activity can be for all Indic fonts, but best to keep focus on one script, to do it well, and resolve all issues once for all, so all Devanagari fonts can be certified to have gone through a proper QA. Please come forward with your suggestions and interest in this activity.
