ন + দ + ব no longer has a nice juktokar glyph #76

Closed capellsk closed 7 years ago

The latest version 2.91.3 keeps the ন separate from the দ + ব. Version 2.91.2 is also wrong, with the small ব too far to the right.

Can you provide screenshot of problem?

capellsk commented 8 years ago

It seems that I was wrong, the glyph is the same for both 2.91.2 and 2.91.3 as far as I can tell. I think I was mistakenly looking at 2.4.3, which is distributed with Ubuntu.

2.4.3 separates the ন from the দ + ব. 2.91.* has the ব too far to the right.

The attached image shows three glyphs. At the top is the current Lohit 2.91.3 representation of ন + দ + ব (connected by ্). In the middle is the current representation of দ + ব, which is fine. At the bottom is the proposed representation of ন + দ + ব, which is how it's traditionally done. Since connecting the ন with the দ does not change the basic representation of the দ, you can add the ব below it just like you would if the দ was not connected to the ন.

Great! Looking forward to the next release.

For the record, I don't love the new glyph. The ব is shaped weird compared to the others in the font. And the connection between the দ and the ব looks very different from দ্ব, where there is a roundness where they meet. If anyone ever brushes up this font it would be great to consider making the conjuncts more harmonious with each other. glyphs
