--- Comment #81 from Alessandro Ceschini alessandroceschini.it@gmail.com 2011-10-25 06:17:45 EDT --- Created attachment 530045 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=530045 Both glyph names do work in XeLaTeX
Good news, Mr. Satpute, if you want you can go back to the previous glyph names, I tried the new version of Sans and it still kept giving me that friggin' point instead of the expected glyph. Then I had a flash of genius and REMOVED the standard version of Liberation installed with Ubuntu... et voilà! The problem didn't stem from a faulty glyph name bur RATHER from the conflict between the beta and the mainstream version of Liberation.
In the pdf I attached both Liberation Serif (with glyph name S_BE) and Liberation Sans (with glyph name identical to DejaVu) DO work now. But if, for compatibility/consistency questions you want to conform to the DejaVu usage, just go ahead. DejaVu might not be the cutest of all fonts but it's of course a well-established reference which most free font designers conform to.
Now, three issues remain: 1) shape of Italic TE, which Zoran pointed out many times, the line above should cover the whole letter, just as in DejaVu (take a look at the pdf) 2) shape of Regular/Italic BE is identical to Greek DELTA, which is bad, it should be more like what it is in DejaVu (again, take a look at the pdf) 3) optional shape (tags hist & alt in Serbian locl GSUB) for Italic U+0448 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SHA, glyph shape like Italic TE, but line BENEATH, instead of above. See attachment 529868 I inserted yesterday: The last letter is SHA.
