Forgot to mention: this is using the development version of FreeFont. Hi Steve, Could you please provide an example of what a correct sample in Firefox looks like as well as the version of FreeFont that you are using. Subscribing caolanm for font-fu Created attachment 65429 [details]

Sinhala text comparison
Hi, I now see the PDF was not a good idea. I thought the fonts would be embedded, and some were, but others weren't. I'll replace this with freshly-made images, as well as the original documents. These are made with distro LO 3.5.2. Unfortunately, since the bug was reported, I lost my build with the patch, and I don't know if this LO has the patch I mentioned. It doesn't really matter: as I said, the issue at hand seems to be independent of the patch. Cheers! Created attachment 65437 [details]
how the test doc appears on my system
Better illustration of the problem than the previous images.

screenshot from master
Using freefont-otf-20120503 the above is now the screenshot I get with todays master. Looks good to me now. I concur that your image looks much better -- the egregious errors I was seeing before are gone. I'm still struggling to get the latest pull built, so I can't test it myself... Thanks VERY MUCH for all your work on this! Created attachment 65545 [details]
Some remaining problems in Hindi text
I had Zdenek Wagner look at the latest, and he found a couple of problems remaining in the Hindi text. See attachment. The more serious (in red) is a character replacement that still isn't happening. The other is a spacing issue. This may be a separate bug, I don't know. It will take me some time to sort out what's going on here. Nobody said Indic scripts were going to be easy... Harshula remarked to me that in your image, the second word in the Sinhala නු seems to be missing a thin vertical line on its right side. (Otherwise he says the text is right.) Is this just an artifact of making the image, or is it in the original rendering of the word? re comment #14, this vertical line on right side of නු exists on screen. Presumably an artefact of scaling the png or some such re #13 lets follow up in bug #53584 |
