While using Lohit as a Web font if browser does not fallback to default Latin font it shows as a square box. 3. If default selected font in fallback not matching with Lohit style, then it does not give pleasing rendering effect. To avoid these problem planning to add Basic Latin support in all Lohit fonts. Need your recommendation for which font we can go for now. 1. It should match with Lohit style 2. License should be compatible with Lohit. If one interested in contributing new designed shape specifically matching with Lohit, that will be even great. One options from my side is adding Liberation Sans shape into it. Both are licensed under OFL.

Good pointer, We now have good set of OFL fonts, will take a look at them.

Hello -- FWIW I support using Liberation Sans -- its compatibility with Lohit seems OK -- see attachments. But what do you mean by "modify as per Lohit style"? What is there to modify? BTW if you are going to do this, are you going to do A-Za-z only? Or anything else too? I prefer you do only plain un-accented 26 alphabets. If you are going to include any accented (i.e. additional European) characters, the list will become too big IMHO. -- Shriramana Sharma -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Yes for attached pdf. Yes it looks good. > > But what do you mean by "modify as per Lohit style"? What is there to modify? Not sure yet but I think Ascent/Descent or Scaling will be required as per font values. > > BTW if you are going to do this, are you going to do A-Za-z only? Or > anything else too?
