Javanese font uses cakra glyph that's too wide for combination with dotted circle #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
For the character sequence U+25CC U+A9BF (dotted circle, Javanese cakra), Noto 
Sans Javanese uses a rather wide cakra glyph. The font has a narrower cakra 
glyph that's used in combination with the narrower Javanese base letters, e.g., 
U+A994 or U+A995. The same narrower glyph should be used for the dotted circle.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Use a browser with a good rendering engine to go to
http://lindenbergsoftware.com/google/noto/java-table.html

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Table cell A9BF should use a narrow glyph for Javanese cakra. Instead, a rather 
wide glyph is used.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Noto Sans Javanese Regular 1.01
Mozilla Firefox Nightly 36.0a1 (2014-10-14)
Mac OS X 10.9.5

Please provide any additional information below.
The fix is an additional entry for uni25CC as a backtrack glyph in GSUB lookup 
table 7.

There are actually several, at least 5, different cakra glyphs, depends on the width of the previous glyph, and the location (top or bottom). The top one at least have 3 sizes of glyphs, and the bottom cakra could be several (2 or more)

Added logic to select a more appropriately sized variant of the chakra when combined with the dotted circle. javanese_178
