[Lohit-devel-list] Required suggestions for adding Latin characters into Lohit fonts

[Pravin Satpute]

Hi All,

    Lohit fonts are facing following problems due to unavailability of
Basic Latin characters
1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834368#c0
2. 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.
