Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ttf-indic-fonts-core
Hello There!
I have the Jaunty version of Kubuntu, and so have the 1:0.5.4ubuntu2
version of ttf-indic-fonts. There's an issue with the font Lohit Tamil,
rendering the Tamil consonant 'J' + vowel 'u' combinations '0B90 + 0BC1'
and '0B90 + 0BC2'.
Examples (Not working case) : -
ஜு as in ஜுலை ('Ju' in July)
ஜூas in ஜூன் ('Juu' in June)
The diacritics in both cases appear above the consonant rather than
beside it, with a space appearing beside instead. I suppose this must
be a problem with the GPOS table, so the font, rather than the rendering
engine, because such combinations with the consonant 'Sh' ('0BB7 + 0BC1'
and '0BB7 + 0BC2') are rendered correctly, with the same diacritics
appearing beside 'Sh', as they should be.
Examples (Working case) : -
ஷு as in ஷுகர் (Shukar...transliteration for Sugar)
ஷூ as in ஷூக்கள் (Shuukkal....= Shoes)
Thank you!
