Package: ttf-malayalam-fonts Version: 1:0.5.14 The Rachana Malayalam font that is distributed with Debian shows the wrong glyph for 0D66 MALAYALAM DIGIT ZERO.
I have separately reported bug #661905 that this font displays many encoded characters wrongly as ® or as full stop. Those are purely bad glyphs intended as fillers which should be removed. However this is a different bug. The glyph already existing in the font for 0D66 MALAYALAM DIGIT ZERO is actually that of the later encoded 0D73 MALAYALAM FRACTION ONE QUARTER. Previously the old Unicode chart had this wrong glyph, however the current chart has been updated to show the actual Malayalam digit zero which is just like the other zeroes of (South) Indian scripts: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D00.pdf Not only the currently Debian-distributed font, but also the latest Rachana version in the Savannah repository is having this wrong glyph. Santosh Thottingal had written in the feedback on the bug #661898 that the latest Rachana font with many fixes is about to be uploaded. I recommend that before uploading, this bug also (and other few bugs I am going to report now) should also be corrected. -- Shriramana Sharma -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
