[smc-devel] Re: Malayalam OpenType font (GPL'ed)

[Baiju M]

There is small problem with rendering of Malayalam vovel sign AU (U0D4C).
Nowadays we are not using the shape of that character as specified in
Unicode Malayalam chart (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D00.pdf),
instead we are using the shape of U0D57 (Malayalam AU length mark).
Minstry of IT ( Govt. of India ), a member of unicode consortium has 
prosed a change in this (Its not making any backward compatibility 
problem, 
just the character shape is changing). So the rendering of that charcter 
can
be changed in yudit.

Here is a diff of yudit-2.6.4/stoolkit/SCluster.c :

967,968d966
<   case 0x0d4c:
<     return 0x0d46;
993,994d990
<   case 0x0d4c:
<     return 0x0d57;

please patch this into SCluster.c

Thanks for supporting my mother toungue in Yudit.
