Hi All,
Here comes the 2.92.0 release of Lohit Malayalam. We done number
of improvements and bug fixes over the earlier release [1]. I am
happy we able to resolve all reported bugs against alpha in 2.92.0
release.
Following are the highlights:
- We had around 9 below base glyphs not used in any lookup, we
removed those glyphs.
- Using "copy reference" for glyphs instead of copying whole
glyph points in most of the places.
- Sfd file size is now 384K, 2.91.0 release was 408K.
- Renamed anchor point, it will help in long term for making
single Lohit font having all scripts.
- Removed Samvruthokaram ligature.
- Resolved 10 issues reported on github [2] :
#35,#36,#37,#38,.#39,#40.#41,#42,#43,#44.
- More test cases in test file.
- Auto test integrated with Makefile ($make test)
For this release special thanks to Santhosh Thottingal for his detailed review of Alpha.
It helped lot to identify key issues.
I feel this release is near to final release of
Lohit Malayalam and we can consider this as a Beta.
Our goal with Lohit2 is to make effective and
efficient font which can be used as a reference for new font
developments activity. We still need help from community to test
it and make sure Lohit is following all standards.
Updated lohit project page [3] for download details. Source
tarball link [4], TTF tarball link [5] and webfonts format for
Lohit is at [6].
Feel free to report any issue AT github. [7]
