** Description changed:

  I was just visiting tamil sites. I just found a problem in rendering sha 
letter across all applications(firefix, gedit), when using lohit tamil font. 
The letter sha when combined ka or cha or ta, it merges with the previous 
letter. It looks really ugly to see such words in a page. Other than this 
issue, lohit tamil font does render all other letters beautiful.
  Installing the tamil language pack and restarting the m/c, didnt solve the 
issue in lohit tamil font.
  Since lohit tamil font is available in "ttf-indic-fonts-core" folder, filed 
the bug in that package.
  
  Attached screen shot which has "sha" collapsed with previous letters.
  
  Steps:
  1. Make sure you use lohit tamil font in the application you use
  2. Then type ka+sha (phonetic input) in that application
- 3. "sha" letter will merge with "ka" 
+ 3. "sha" letter will merge with "ka"
  4. OR visit this link in browser which uses lohit tamil font 
"http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%B7%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AF%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8";
  
  Expected Behaviour:
  "Sha" should not get merged with previous letter "ka"
+ 
+ Ubuntu Release         : 11.04 
+ ttf-indic-fonts Version: 1:0.5.11ubuntu1
