Details
Description:
With harfbuzz 4.4.0 and later rendering is broken for Noto Sinhala fonts. I have reported the issue to harfbuzz developers assuming the problem is in there, and found out it is due outdated variation of Noto fonts used in Arch Linux. When I remove this package from system and download the fonts directly from https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+Sinhala, it renders the font correctly. Additional info: * package version 20220607-1 * same issue with the locally built package using HEAD of https://github.com/notofonts/noto-fonts main branch * link to harfbuzz bug report: https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/3725 * link to bug report by harfbuzz developer: https://github.com/notofonts/sinhala/issues/1 Steps to reproduce: With harfbuzz 4.4.0 or later go to a web page with Sinhala text (ex. https://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B7%83%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%82%E0%B7%84%E0%B6%BD_%E0%B6%B7%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%82%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%80), notice the overlapping glyps. Attached screenshots (of LibreOffice Writer) shows difference in rendering with old/new versions of harfbuzz. |

Is this still happening with latest harfbuzz 5.0.1-1 ? Please let
us know.
Yes, it's still the same with harfbuzz 5.0.1-1
This issue is still present in the repo version of Noto Fonts.
Can confirm that this still exist on EndaevourOS as well. OP's
workaround works well.
+1 Using noto from fonts.google fixes the issue.
Please refrain from empty posting.
