inkscape + ttf-engadget: letter u not filled

[Savvas Radevic]

Binary package hint: inkscape

Using font package: ttf-engadget
The letter "u" is not filled when typing in text.

Tried in GIMP and I cannot reproduce the problem. The font appears to be ok!

Hello. I investigated this issue. I found a issue with the font. Inside the ttf file, there are two 'u' -one on top of the other, copied-. I don't understand why GIMP shows it correctly, however. The attachment fixes this problem.

The font file shouldn't have two paths copied for the 'u' glyph but I don't know if the fact that is not showing up in inkscape is a bug or not.

The fixed font works! I opened the bug report against the ttf-engadget package.
I also contacted: <email address hidden>, <email address hidden>, <email address hidden> (one of them should do the trick!)

I've fixed the bug upstream. Thanks!

Marking invalid in Inkscape - the bug lies upstream in ttf-engadget

the bug has been fixed with the new version in debian sid.
