[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#659527: FreeSerif: Glyphs for U+2293 (square cap) and U+2294 (square cup) inverted

[Daniel Schoepe]

Package: ttf-freefont
Version: 20100919-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

the characters for U+2293 (Square cap, ⊓) and U+2294 (Square cup, ⊔)
seem to be inverted in the FreeSerif font. This can be verified by
opening FreeSerif.sfd (from the source package) in FontForge, or by
selecting this font in a program (e.g. Emacs, or LibreOffice) and
typing those characters.

I suppose this is trivially fixable using FontForge, but I encountered
an error message that said I was trying to create a glyph that refered
to itself. I was able to work around that by blindly clicking on
"Unlink reference", but this resulted in a patch that looked bigger
than it needs to be and is not attached here for this reason.

Cheers,
Daniel
