It looks good. Could you produce similar patches for Bold and Oblique variants?
There might still be some issue with the circumflex + horn, sometimes
the horn is largely cut off. You could either lower it more or
redesign it if necessary.

Re: Changes for Cyrillic in Sans

I have applied these changes to svn tree. I tried to greatly preserve 
instructions made by Evgeniy. Fontforge marks them as outdated but they seem 
to be actual. The instructions for descenders of 
Cyrillic "de", "tse", "shcha" (both small and capital) and for small Cyrillic 
ve of Sans should be adjusted.

At now the remaining problems for Cyrillic in DejaVu fonts are:

1. The future shape of non-italic "ka", "zhe", "ya", look at 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7702

2. Italic shape for SerifOblique and SerifBoldOblique

3. Possible adjusting bearings in Serif family

4. Kerning

5. etc.

Thanks. I'll adjust those intructions and review others. Please do not
clear 'I' flags on changed letters.

I'm in favour for inclusion. The Hebrew glyphs look very nice already 
too.

It would also be best to get some more feedback for it before hinting. 
Do you plan to work on hinting them the next weeks?

On the U+05BA topic: http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2844.pdf 
seems to go entirely about that glyph (it seems a disunification to me: 
different meaning but same appearance, but better ask someone who knows 
Hebrew)

Re: [Fwd: umlaut broken]


Hi,

this problem is a bug in FreeType-2.2.1. It is fixed in the FreeType 
CVS, so you could either compile the cvs version or ask the person 
who's in charge of the freetype packages to apply the patches at 
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2006-06/msg00057.html 
which will fix this issue (and another hinting issue as well)

Greetings
Ben

I wondered, is it the same as
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7453 
or https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7441 ?

Hebrew glyphs included in trunk (Was: Re: Inclusion of Hebrew block (Was: Re: Hebrew))

Hebrew glyphs are now in trunk. hebrew-experimental branch was removed,
so all new changes to Hebrew glyphs should go to trunk.

Re: [Openfontlibrary] IRC Meeting #2 (##fonts <at> Freenode) on Tuesday, 1/Aug/06, 12:00 UTC-GMT/Zulu: Font availability; font licensing; selecting fonts

Somehow, these meetings keep happening while I'm on a plane. Could you
email the lists a summary of the discussions please? Also, maybe a litle
more advance notice on when these discussion will take place would be
nice in order to garner wider participation.
