[Solved] Samanata font character ढ‎ displayed incorrectly

[a928]

Hello, please see attachment 1 the character of Hindi alphabet ढ as in my font editing software, and attachment 2 as in Insert > Special character in Calc of the same font.

What makes the difference? Is it an openoffice issue or system issue?

Noto Sans Devanagari, subset Devanagari, gives a character similar to your font editing software.

Is this an issue coming from my OpenOffice, the .ttf font file or a system issue?

The character is not shown after "Characters:" at the bottom of the Special Characters dialog so it hasn't been selected. What happens if you click on the character to select it?

Using the Samanata font, the character displays normally for me in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.12 and in FontForge.

I am using Openoffice 4.1.13. I do not know how to modify the signature.

How does that character display if you use another editor, say notepad or wordpad?

I just noted it is the same on Wordpad so does it mean it is a corrupted .ttf file?

But what makes the difference within Openoffice Special character?

I assume that your issue is a combination of two points: missing point in top left corner of the horizontal bar and added "stray" point in the inner contour of the loop, breaking outside the loop.

• Are you sure that you have saved the change to the font file?
• Are you sure that the edited content is the version in use?
  IOW:
  • it is the installed font file
  • you restarted everything after saving your edit, to eliminate any caching.

I do not know how to edit the font. I noted there are few problems in this font.

In the above photo, I was just showing how the alphabet U+0922 looks like in FontForge.

I uninstalled the font, restart and re-installed the font. It is the same result.

Then you might need to find another version of the same or of a closely similar font.

I noted there are few problems in this font.

The DEVANAGARI LETTER DDHA character displays fine for me with OpenOffice 4.1.7 on MacOS 10.14.6 using a pre-installed font. Maybe you have a font or operating system problem. This doesn't seem like an OpenOffice problem.

I am using Openoffice 4.1.13. I do not know how to modify the signature.

How are we supposed to know what your operating system system is if you don't tell us (2nd quote, 1st sentence) and your signature is bogus (2nd quote, 2nd sentence)? We are not mind readers. That information is often quite important in solving problems since otherwise you may get inappropriate advice. Click your name in the upper right corner of the page and select User Control Panel → Profile → Edit signature. It is your resposibility to provide your OpenOffice version and operating system version. How can you expect someone to advise you on a "system issue" if you don't say which system it is?

Why are you running font editing software if you don't know how to use it? You might break something. Assistance with font editing software is off-topic for this forum.


If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

At first, I thought this might be a graphical glitch, but since WordPad and OpenOffice both show the same modified character and re-installing doesn't fix the problem, it looks like the installation file has been modified at some point. From the screen shot of the Special Characters dialog, the character U+095D has also been modified. Version 1.0 of the Samanata font pre-installed on Ubuntu MATE does not have these modifications. Where did you get the Samanata font installation file?
