Hi folks,
I'm more or less done with the important parts of the template font. I'm still
working on writing out a description, mostly in case I forget the tricky
parts. Everything should be ready by the end of this week, but let me know if
anyone is eager to try things out before then.
To mention a few problems I have no idea how to fix:
a. On Windows, IE refuses to recognize the font as a Bengali font. The only
table that is supposed to carry this information (according to my cursory
overview) is the OS/2 table, but that seems to be what it should be. This is
probably a pfaedit issue, but I'm not sure. Any pointers would be welcome.
b. Both pango and whatever scheme openoffice on linux uses has a bug when it
comes to rendering a conjunct starting with 'ba'. The 'ba + hasanta' is
converted to a ba-phala even when not appropriate. For example,
sh ba hasanta da
is rendered as
sha-baphala da
Yudit doesn't have this problem.
c. The 'init' feature (Initial forms) doesn't seem to be supported by
freetype.
More details later.
