Comment 2 for bug 756279

Hi Kunchana!

A lot of work went into the Sinhala range in the 2010-09-19 release of FreeFont.
It has been reviewed by native-language speakers and declared quite good.

Download it here
    http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/

(Note you'll have to remove the files from the old versions, and there are unfortunate package dependencies.
The best way I know, is unfortunately to delete the installation files from the old version by hand.)
Then you also need to delete font caches. As root
    fc-cache -fv
and probably it's good also to do it as your normal user.

Unfortunately it takes a long time for software changes to get through debian and then to Ubuntu.

And... the right place to report FreeFont bugs, is on the FreeFont site,
     https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/
Nobody told us about your problem. I only stumbled across it by chance.

Cheers!
