pointing out the patch. However, before going ahead, please verify the rendering in some actual text editor/web browser. For sample text, you can go to http:/www.bengalinux.org/bn . The main issue we have been facing with the FreeType2 autohinter is that glyphs in a rendered string fail to align properly (horizontal alignment, that is). An example of proper rendering is at http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings/images/akaashabnormal.jpg Note how the top "matra" lines up more or less perfectly - this is something which we have not got with the Freetype autohinter (unpatched).
I tried with http://www.mandrakelinux.com/l10n/bn.php3 now. Result with "Mukti Narrow" with autohinter is here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/konqueror-mukti-narrow-hinting-true.png The top "matra" lines apparently line up well. When using Likhan instead of "Mukti Narrow", it looks less good though: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/misc/konqueror-likhan-hinting-true.png Is that acceptable? -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
