Description Ani 2006-07-05 19:22:25 UTC

U+058A ARMENIAN HYPHEN is too low, it should be higher; like latin hyphens are.
For an example of correct armenian hyphen look at that symbol in Arial AMU font:

are you sure the hyphen should be higher? I determined the current vertical 
position by looking at fonts like Sylfaen and Titus Cyberbit Basic. But those 
two fonts have the hyphen even lower than DejaVu.

Yes I am sure. I am a native Armenian speaker and I have never seen the hyphen
be so low. It is always at the same height as latin hyphen, it just has a
different shape. Sylfaen and Titus Cyberbit Basic have probably made a mistake.
Many other Armenian fonts have the hyphen in correct location.

OK, just making sure that it wouldn't mean a regression if it was placed 
higher. I'll try to adjust it in time for the next release then.

(btw, I'm looking some time now for feedback on Armenian, so if there are any 
other issues about glyphs that don't look right, please report them)

Comment 4 Ben Laenen 2006-07-12 03:49:37 UTC

I adjusted the position of the hyphen in SVN, could you try it out in the 
latest snapshot available at http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ please?

The hyphen looks good now. Thank you!
