Topic
An updated lohit-tamil-fonts package that fixes a display issue in the
asterisk glyph ('*' -- Unicode U+002A) is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The lohit-tamil-fonts package provides a free Tamil script TrueType and
OpenType font.
This update addresses the following display issue:
- The Latin asterisk glyph ('*' -- ASCII 0x2A; Unicode U+002A) was
over-sized relative to the same glyph as presented in other non-Latin
scripts which include Latin glyphs (eg Lohit Devanagari). With this update,
the asterisk has been re-drawn to match the glyph included with Lohit
Devanagari. This re-drawing also ensures the asterisk matches the
typographic 'color' of the Tamil script characters and the other Latin
glyphs included with this typeface. (BZ#629813)
Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
