Need to test Georgian (ka) glyps for unifont package. Thank You.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

This bug is obviously not fixed, correcting the status

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

I have uploaded a new unifont to edgy with these changes after testing them with Vladimer.

What he actually wants, though, is for the gfxboot screen to be fixed, which would require regenerating its font from the unifont X font. However, I have no idea how far out of sync they may be, and whether this could cause problems for other languages.

I'm CCing Colin in case he knows.

unifont (1:1.0-3ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Replace Georgian glyphs with a set provided by Gia Shervashidze

nice, new fonts are way better!

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

gfxboot-theme-ubuntu should be in sync with the previous version of unifont. I'll add a bug task to remind me to update the font for the next upload.

goood! I was waiting for this moment many years! Good job!
