[Freefont-bugs] Testing of FreeSans - devanagari script - latest version

[Monika Shah]

Hello,
We have tested the latest version of FreeSans.ttf (for Devanagari
script) and have noticed problems in case of openoffice1.1.3 and
Openoffice1.1.4 .
It works fine on mozilla , kwrite and Gedit.

Perhaps snapshopts attached will help you to visulaise the problem.

It has yet to be tested on Windows platform.

With Regards,
Monika Shah, Sonali Sonania,

> Hello,
>
> A new release of Free UCS outline font suite has been made available for
> download at http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/freefont/ - release
> 20060126.
>
> Some major achievements in this release:
>
> * support for Devanagari and Gujarati in Free Sans, a contribution from
> existing fonts Gargi 1.9 and Padmaa 0.7. A whole bunch of people were
> involved in their development, including Cyberscape Multimedia Ltd., Homi
> Bhabha Centre For Science Education, and of course Monika Shah and Sonali
> Sonania of janabhaaratii Team, C-DAC, Mumbai, who also happen to be members
> of the Free UCS outline font project team.
>
> * support for Gurmukhi in Free Sans and Free Sans Bold, a contribution from
> existing fonts AnmolUni and AnmolUni-Bold, courtesy Kulbir Singh Thind and
> Punjabonline.
>
> * better support for Tamil in Free Serif, courtesy Pravin Satpute, Bageshri
> Salvi, Rahul Bhalerao and Sandeep Shedmake of the Samyak project
>
> Some minor achievements include replacing accented Latin letters with
> references, completing IPA extensions (but not the spacing modifier letters)
> in Free Serif, some progress with support for Armenian in Free Sans Bold,
> and random additions and improvements here and there.
>
> Plans for future include incorporation of the fonts from the Samyak project
> into Free Serif (Devanagari, Gujarati and Oriya are in line), adding support
> for Georgian and support for musical symbols. We are also close on some
> points to MES-2 conformance (Free Serif lacks 9 characters, Free Mono 18,
> Free Serif Bold 31, and Free Sans 47).
>
> Truetype fonts were compiled using Fontforge-20060114. Please test the fonts
> for errors and let me know - preferably using the list
> address@hidden - so that we can together improve the fonts.
>
> With kind regards,
> Primoz
