Package: ttf-malayalam-fonts Version: 1:0.5.14 The Rachana Malayalam font that is distributed with Debian false mappings for non-encoded characters.
That is, characters which are not even encoded in Unicode, for example 0D00, 0D01 and so on throughout the Malayalam block till 0D7F are assigned a glyph which looks like 00AE REGISTERED SIGN ®. It is not appropriate for a font in a distribution to have unencoded characters mapped to any glyph. The rendering engine will automatically take care of such characters and display them using the .notdef glyph in the font. Providing such wrong mappings fools the rendering engine to think that the font actually caters to these characters which are not even encoded. Therefore please remove these false mappings. -- Shriramana Sharma
