RHBA-2011:0667 - 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
