Upstream Developers (Swathanthra malayalam Computing http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/smc) decided to stick on with Unicode 5.0 standard due to the new issues introduced with Unicode 5.1 Onwards . No fonts fully supports Unicode 5.1 or later as of now. The Forks of SMC fonts pointed by Praveen Prakash is not fully unicode 5.1 Compatible. It just uses the code positions of Malayalam Chillus. Lohit Malayalam Have partial 5.1 Support. But it is not fully 5.1 compatible I request to stick with Unicode 5.0 for malayalam, as of Debian & Fedora till fully unicode 5.1 fonts are released Anivar Aravind -- Unicode 5.1 compatible fonts for Malayalam not available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
