1.145.1. RHBA-2011:0704: bug fix update

An updated lohit-tamil-fonts package that fixes a display issue in the asterisk glyph ('*' -- Unicode U+002A) is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The lohit-tamil-fonts package provides a free Tamil script TrueType and OpenType font.
This update addresses the following display issue:
  • The Latin asterisk glyph ('*' -- ASCII 0x2A; Unicode U+002A) was over-sized relative to the same glyph as presented in other non-Latin scripts which include Latin glyphs (eg Lohit Devanagari). With this update, the asterisk has been re-drawn to match the glyph included with Lohit Devanagari. This re-drawing also ensures the asterisk matches the typographic 'color' of the Tamil script characters and the other Latin glyphs included with this typeface. (BZ#629813)
Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
