Steve White <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Steve White <[email protected]> --- Hi, your friendly GNU FreeFont admin here. This is a known problem, which has been repaired some time ago in SVN. The 2012 release of GNU FreeFont was tested with Pango and Win XP, by native speakers and by myself. The font shaping engine of Windows Vista and 7 is substantially different from that of XP, and it was known at the time of the previous release that this change resulted in wrong rendering in those systems, much like the one described here. Harfbuzz emulates these newer Windows shaping engines, and so the problem arises there. One of the main thrusts in FreeFont over the past year has been to re-engineer the lookup tables to work with the newer font renderers. As to when a new release will happen: I don't know -- soon, I hope. Some ranges of the font are not in a deliverable state at this time. I'll renew my efforts on this. I'll continue the discussion in the GNU FreeFont bug report. Cheers! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
