Created attachment 13449 [details] Left: Correct rendering, Right: RSVG rendered thumbnail When creating thumbnails for SVGs, RSVG incorrectly renders characters of Sinhala (Unicode) script (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D80.pdf). Example image: https://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B6%9C%E0%B7%9C%E0%B6%B1%E0%B7%94%E0%B7%80:Geoz_wb_si.svg Possible fixes: Sinhala Unicode fonts are available in ttf-sinhala-lklug package. Probably we could make use of that.
Change 88430 had a related patch set uploaded by Reedy: Add ttf-sinhala-lklug to imagescalers https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88430
Change 88430 merged by Dzahn: Add ttf-sinhala-lkmug to imagescalers https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88430
we are using "ttf-sinhala-lkmug" instead of "ttf-sinhala-lklug" now because on precise -lklug is "N: Can't select versions from package 'ttf-sinhala-lklug' as it is purely virtual" and -lkmug is the "dummy transitional package". Since puppet does not install recommends we are not getting "defoma" which is deprecated.
checked a puppet run on random imagescaler (mw75). notice: /Stage[main]/Imagescaler::Packages::Fonts/Package[ttf-sinhala-lkmug]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'latest' ii fonts-lklug-sinhala 0.5.4-1 Unicode Sinhala font by Lanka Linux User Group ii ttf-sinhala-lkmug 0.5.4-1 transitional dummy package in a few minutes all puppet runs should have finished, then please try again and confirm if it's resolved thanks
Sampath, i'll claim it's resolved :) I purged and reloaded https://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B6%9C%E0%B7%9C%E0%B6%B1%E0%B7%94%E0%B7%80:Geoz_wb_si.svg and i see the characters now and afaict it looks good. please confirm. -- Daniel
Hi Daniel, I can confirm that the problem is resolved. Apologies for taking time to confirm. Sampath
