Okay, mine says 14 Feb 2018. Then I went to fedora's build farm to see how/what
exactly have they done to it... Apparently the ttf fedora shipped is built from
sfd and fea with fontforge, then hinted with ttfautohint. So they like to build
the ttf from source sfd/fea - that's fine - then run ttfautohint, which happens
to be buggy .
I see the current version of ttfautohint is 1.8.2, and 1.8.1 is only 10 months
old . 1.8.1 is what fedora ships and likely the one which built
lohit-devanagari :-(
