Re: [ft-devel] Rendering issues with xpdf (and other Linux based pdf viewers)

Wow, thanks Alex. I was losing my mind wondering why others don't have the same problem :-).

I suspect the issue with page 2 and 3 is to do with opentype features - those fonts have gpos/gsub tables, which probably affect how glyphs are positioned.

I was able to reproduce the missing dots with ftview in the embedded
file RSOAVR+Lohit-Devanagari.ttf (attached, they are OFL). With native
default hinter enabled, some dots are always missing with sizes less
than 57. There is no problem with autohinter or with hinting disabled.
