revision 1.40
date: 2005-11-30 author: peterlin;

  • sfd/FreeSerif.sfd: merged with the Rachana Normal

Found font Rachana_w01 at http://samayamonline.in/
It has big lookup tables.
(Lists site http://www.rachanamalayalam.org -- no longer exists)

OK I just missed the lookup where many are referenced from.

akhn Malayalam 3
akhn Malayalam 4
Has hundreds of entries.

Also: even if they were referenced, the slot range is poorly chosen. Other perfectly fine ranges live in those Unicode slots.

Many of the glyphs from u+10001 to u+1033d are from Malayalam.
But most of them are never referred from a lookup table.

I would also complain they are badly named
e.g. v1r3u2

These are some of the biggest glyphs in the whole font, and the lowest-reaching.

Lookups have very few entries, not all of which make sense:
psts in Malayalam 22
4 entries
haln in Malayalam 26
7 entries
psts in Malayalam 23
1 entry: is broken.

How bad is this? Is the range usable at all in this condition?
Was it always like this, or did I break it somehow?
