Gothic Uralic bold is not Unicode compliant, as you can see from the attached fontforge screenshot the glyphs for characters above ANSI are in completely the wrong Unicode codepoints. It seems the other Uralic fonts also have a similar problem: http://bugs.debian.org/384124 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-uralic/+bug/73211
Hi Esa, Myself and several others have noted that the Uralic fonts are broken wrt mappings between the glyphs and Unicode code points. Are you aware of this issue and will you be fixing it? http://bugs.debian.org/384124 http://bugs.debian.org/517012 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-uralic/+bug/73211
Hello Paul, You probably mean that the Cyrillic is duplicated in the place of Latin-1 additional characters? Yes, these fonts were designed to be "foolproof", so that they would work in all applications beginning from Windows 3. They were never meant to be compatible with additional Latin characters. You are free to fix this problem with the characters found in the original fonts. Yours, Esa Anttikoski Lainaus Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>:
I don't know what you mean by any of that. All I know is that this font doesn't render correctly when given certain parts of Unicode. I take it that you don't intend to fix this issue.
