From a4d2b23ec9517b423616a3c698297f9ad3fdcdee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Parag Nemade Date: May 08 2022 22:09:21 +0000 Subject: F36 Change: Malayalam default fonts update (#797) Signed-off-by: Parag Nemade --- diff --git a/modules/release-notes/pages/desktop/I18n.adoc b/modules/release-notes/pages/desktop/I18n.adoc index 6cb4f34..cf15d4d 100644 --- a/modules/release-notes/pages/desktop/I18n.adoc +++ b/modules/release-notes/pages/desktop/I18n.adoc @@ -7,3 +7,8 @@ include::{partialsdir}/entities.adoc[] In most of Linux distributions the standard Hunspell dictionary path is */usr/share/hunspell* but in Fedora we were still having */usr/share/myspell*. This change now installed all hunspell dictionary files into */usr/share/hunspell* directory path instead of */usr/share/myspell* path. The hunspell-filesystem package has been made to provide both paths installed on the system. All applications in Fedora using old directory path */usr/share/myspell* has been changed to use new directory path */usr/share/hunspell* so that spell checking functionality in them will continue to work as it worked before with old dictionary path. + +== Malayalam default fonts update +The Malayalam language default fonts have been updated and also renamed to new upstream source, which brought improved text shaping, better glyphs for readability, Unicode 13 support, Appstream data amongst other improvements. +Till Fedora 35, Meera (smc-meera-fonts) and Rachana (smc-rachana-fonts) fonts were default sans-serif and serif fonts for Malayalam script/language. From Fedora 36, these are obsoleted by Meera New (rit-meera-new-fonts) and RIT Rachana (rit-rachana-fonts) respectively. +
