RHBA-2011:0667 - lohit-kannada-fonts bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

lohit-kannada-fonts bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated lohit-kannada-fonts package that corrects display problems and adds Latin punctuation glyphs is now available.

Description

lohit-kannada-fonts provides a free TrueType and OpenType typeface for writing and displaying Kannada script.

This update corrects the following display issue:

  • Previously, Lohit Kannada did not include Latin punctuation glyphs (such as opening and closing parentheses). When these characters were required while using the Kannada script, they were drawn from a system's default Latin script. With this update, these characters have been added to the Kannada character set, improving the look of text which mixes Kannada characters and Latin punctuation glyphs.

As well, the right-side bearing rules for Kannada conjuncts that immediately follow a Latin parenthesis character have been corrected to ensure these glyphs no longer kern so close as to overlap. (BZ#577127)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
