[Freebangfont-devel] small bug in Indic rendering (Qt 3.2)

[Deepayan Sarkar]

Hi,

there is a slight problem with rendering the characters 

U+0964;DEVANAGARI DANDA
U+0965;DEVANAGARI DOUBLE DANDA

Even if an explicitly specified font contains these glyphs, Qt doesn't 
necessarily use them. It seems that (I'm not very sure about this part) these 
glyphs in a particular font are considered usable only if other glyphs of the 
devanagari block are also present in the font. However, these characters are 
punctuation marks that are supposed to be used by many other Indic languages. 
In my case, I'm working with a Bengali font, with only these two glyphs in 
the devanagari block defined. 

Thanks,

Deepayan

P.S. I haven't checked this on the latest Qt, and I apologise if this has 
already been fixed.
