Lagrange isn't recognizing Indic(Nepali, Sanskrit) Fonts

[scientiac]

I wrote a capsule on my native language, it shows on ariane, deedum on android , on amfora, kristall on desktop linux but lagrange shows boxes, i didn't understand the symbol font option, it didn't work when i loaded the font through that option.

Is this a bug or is it just my computer?

Lagrange currently has only limited access to fonts. There's a few open issues about this (#195, #273). It is lacking Indic fonts and therefore the characters are showing up as missing (boxes).

Configuring a symbol font should alleviate the issue, but it has its limitations, too: only one font file is allowed, and it has to be TrueType (not OTF, for example).

Symbol font too didn't work, I tried preeti, devanagari, freesans, nothing worked, I guess I will wait for the support of more fonts now.
But damn it is the best looking gemini client, you have done some fine work here!
Good Luck for further!

With v1.8 the Noto fonts now seem to have the required glyphs, but looks like there are still some issues with correctly shaping the text. I'll check where exactly things are breaking down...

That's great!!

We call those "half letters", those are represented by स् "The symbol under the letter" which is written when the letter is singularly mentioned, when combined it should look like the literal half or the letter स्प of " स " not‌‌ " स् " .

But it is kinda usable , Reading it is a little difficult as we are used to reading literal halfs instead of symbolic half letters. Also the punctuations are misplaced in this font pack ( "अर्धाङ्गिनी" - is shown " अ र् धा ङ् गनि नी " )

Thank You Very Much , This font will cover the main language of Nepal as well as many languages of Nepal including Hindi (Official language of India). And many Asian languages and Sanskrit Letters too.

This is fixed on version 1.10
