Summary: Please fine-tune glyphs of Tamil numerals and one symbol in Lohit Tamil font https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807068 Summary: Please fine-tune glyphs of Tamil numerals and one symbol in Lohit Tamil font Product: Fedora Version: 16 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: lohit-tamil-fonts AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] CC: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: --- Regression: --- Mount Type: --- Documentation: --- Created attachment 572886 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=572886 TTF of replacement glyphs and attestations for the same Description of problem: The Tamil digits in the Lohit Tamil font are not true to the actual printed glyphs and hence do not look so good even though the rest of the Lohit Tamil font is OTOH exceptionally of good quality. The glyph of one Tamil symbol 0BF6 TAMIL DEBIT SIGN is also not true to the printed glyphs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.5.0 How reproducible: Using Lohit Tamil font, compare glyphs to existing printed glyphs. Actual results: The relative proportions, shapes and lengths of the strokes in some of the glyphs are not according to the actual usage in printing. Some changes were subtle, some were very obvious. Expected results: For maintaining high quality, the above problem should be fixed. Additional info: I have attached a small font with the replacement glyphs. Mostly they are: 1) glyphs copied from elsewhere in the font or another Lohit font (for zero) 2) existing glyphs with positioning of some nodes slightly modified If above not possible, only then I have changed the number of nodes. I have also provided the attestations from printed books. Especially please note that the Tamil zero should be perfectly circular, and the 0BF6 TAMIL DEBIT SIGN should be derived from Tamil PA рок. [In the Unicode chart, the glyph of 0BF6 is wrong and I have asked them to correct it.] Please make sure to autohint the glyphs as due to change in number of points the original hinting information might have been lost.
