          Summary: various smc-fonts have wrong default glyphs
          Product: Fedora
          Version: rawhide
         Platform: All
       OS/Version: All
           Status: NEW

   Classification: Fedora


Various fonts in the smc-fonts package, especially smc-fonts-meera, which is
installed on every Fedora machine because of being being "default" in
compts,
have default glyphs shaped like an R in circle for some Malayalam
characters.

For example, Meera has the following default glyphs in places that it should
not have: U+0D44, U+0D62, U+0D63, U+0D71, U+0D72, U+0D73, U+0D74, U+0D79,
U+0D7A, U+0D7B U+0D7C, U+0D7D, U+0D7E, U+0D7F

Also, there are several default glyphs in places that Unicode may use for
future encoding of Malayalam characters, like U+0D00 and U+0D29.

All those R in cirlces should be removed from the font, to make the font
Unicode-complying. Alternatively, Meera can be replaced by a standard font.
