And the description should be a bit more detailed, I think. I am out of touch with font package naming rules.. but wondering why have separate font- , couldn't it go in fonts-gujr-extra ? if there is going to be only one font in the dir, why not just put it in extra dir than each font in its own dir... after installing all Indic fonts I have about 20 or more dirs under truetype related to indic. For devanagari there are fonts-deva-extra - 5 fonts fonts-nakula, fonts-sahdeva, lohit-devanagari - 1 each. fonts-knda-extra - 8 (2 sets actually) fonts-navilu, Gubbi (should this not have been fonts-gubbi?) , lohit-kannada - 1 font each. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Which version of debian is it? etch? lenny? or which version of KDE/GNOME. I'm running Squeeze + Sid. KDE is at version 4.2.2 Terminal rendering of Indic does not work well, terminal typically used monospace fonts only, variable glyph width conjunts dont render in terminal. Yes, I noticed that the choice of fonts for the terminal (Konsole) is also very limited as compared to other KDE apps. Could you make screenshots with this text http://indlinux.sourceforge.net/downloads/files/mahabharat.txt I'm attaching screenshots for the text you mentioned. Same identical results. :-( mahabharat-kwrite.jpeg ,mahabharat-kmail-draft.jpeg - are quite fine, the rendering is correct (though font hinting is not good here, not an issue with font). mahabharat-konsole.jpeg - this is expected for terminal mahabharat-kmail-compose.jpeg - is the incorrect one In this case, all text seems to be split up, between mahabharat-kmail-draft.jpegmahabharat-kmail-draft.jpeg, could you tell which one was created first? since In one dailog text is rendered correct, in second on its all split up.. a difference i see is text is run over by spellcheck. Also set the mail text to be plain text than html, also possibly email to my id offlist from the same dialog, to check, or if spellchecker is disabled does text show up fine? Are you able to reproduce same rendering error in any gnome app? This is basically to nail the problem correctly as to where it can be wrong. I dont have KDE 4.2.2 at immediate hand, but will check later in night (Let me know if you can reproduce same on Kubuntu 8.10 / Ubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.2.x).

It is a font rendering problem. If the font is correct and the font *rendering* is not correct, I doubt the problem to be relevant for the package that just provides the font. Initially, I felt it to be a KDE problem. Later, it looked like a problem specific to KDE Konsole. Then later again, I realized the GNOME apps were also suffering the same. Which version of debian is it? etch? lenny? or which version of KDE/GNOME. So, I'm not very sure where this bug relates to. How is it with other localized (non-indic) languages ? Are they rendered properly in the KDE/GNOME apps, especially the terminal apps ? Terminal rendering of Indic does not work well, terminal typically used monospace fonts only, variable glyph width conjunts dont render in terminal. From what I understood till now about fonts, I guess this problem is specific to the way terminal fonts are rendered. Because Konqueror can render indic fonts pretty good. So can many of the KDE text editors. I'm sure the situation would be similar on GNOME. Note: The same localized text, on Linux's VT, is completely garbled. It just shows a bunch of white square boxes. Please confirm, which package should own this bug.

There are some screenshots in the bug report that should be able to explain the problem. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Konsole rendering is broken anyways, there is no solution for that as of now. For Kmail, kwrite, please try setting the font to something like Lohit, Gargi etc and check. Also if you are opening any KDE application from terminal, then set LANG=hi_IN.UTF-8 Karunakar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

To be decide whether this is DFSG-Free or not. The only potential problem I see is that the license does not talk about whether modifications can be made to the fonts without restrictions. Otherwise the language looks similar to BSD/PD. I wont classify that as a license statement. Moreover, one needs an express statement permitting modification; else modifications cannot be allowed. And that is not remotely BSDish; BSD license allows modifications. But you better discuss this on debian-legal; I simply have no energy to discuss this there. My prediction is that this is not DFSG free. whats the scope of such 'read-only' fonts, going into non-free repository?
