Description baijum 2008-06-03 07:12:25 UTC 
1. When bold is not enabled the text is not visible in the screen. Nothing comes
in screen while typing. When the blank lines are selected and applied "bold" the
text becomes visible.

2. nta (ന്റ) rendering is borken in new version.

3. samvruthokram patch is not seen in the new version[1]. See the last word in
the first line(കുത്തു്)

Comment 1 baijum 2008-06-03 07:13:25 UTC 
Attaching the screenshots with Lohit(Typewriter/reformed script font). Meera,
and Rachana font. Screenshots shows the side by side comparison of 2.4 version
and Oo-Dev 3.0 version. 

a) Black text means it is unaffected

b) Green means Correct rendering

c) Red means incorrect rendering

d) While using Rachana font in Oo-Dev 3.0, even if the text is bold, nothing is
visible to user as shown in screenshot.

I can confirm bugs 1, 2 and 3.

I have a new observation to make, samvruthokaram is rendered correctly with
suruma font.

HDU: Please have a look at that...

@baijum: a lot of fixes that might have to do with this went in since OOo30b1, please check 
with a newer version, e.g. OOo30rc2. 

@sba: please check if this is still a problem
