--- Comment #15 from Petr Gajdos
. What you currently provide in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/M17N:/fonts/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ noarch/ is version 20140220-36.1; however, the previous version available from this repository was 20140220-38.1, which is confusing. You should definitely provide a more recent version number :-)
Hm, build number should not decrease in one repo, wasn't the 20140220-38.1 from home:pgajdos? Anyway, I will bump version number.
. aakar-medium.ttf as distributed in your recent 36.1 package is older! It identifies itself as 001.100, while 38.1 contains version 0.2 (you can see that with `ftdump -n'). I suggest that you apply your script to the newer font; it contains less characters, which is probably better.
That supports the idea that 38.1 was from home:pgajdos. I was using versions from the github repo there. I had not merge it into M17N:fonts because I did not know they have been improved there. If you think it is better, I will update them from there again.
. I suggest that you improve your script so that it increases (or modifies) the version entry in the `name' table, probably also adding a comment that mentions the openSuSE modifications.
I can not easily increase version number in any way because I can not know which version will upstream choose in case of new release. But the comment about suse modifications looks reasonable to me.
. Rekha.ttf in 38.1 is replaced with Rekha-medium.ttf – note that we have the same issue as with aakar: you should use the font with the newer version.
. A similar version problem occurs with padmaa-Bold.
If the fonts from github repos are really better, why not.
. The script doesn't work correctly for padmaa-Bold: I still get `jumping digits'. I suggest that you remove bytecode from all characters *except* the Indic ones.
Okay, will look at it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
