I have done some strace from the fonts with the sample code testing http://www.openi18n.org/subgroups/testsuites/interactive/text-editor-tests/general-text-editor-test-scenario.html , and *at least* couple fonts in this font package have problems on follow codepoints. This will make document which using these syriac fonts produce wrong chars hence maybe wrong meaning. * U+01A5 is wrong with Estrangelo Midyat, Estrangelo Quenneshrin, East Syriac Ctesiphon. * U+0375, U+0385 are wrong with Serto Urhoy, Serto Malankara, Serto Kharpnt. Steps to Reproduce: 1. explictly select the following font from any application 2. open the file 3. look at those glyphs Actual results: wrong glyphs Expected results: at least empty in font (so that it can fallback to use other fonts) or correct glyphs
