[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#632746: ttf-freefont: Strange glyphs for some chars in Control Pictures block

[Drake Wilson]

Subject: ttf-freefont: Strange glyphs for some chars in Control Pictures block
Package: ttf-freefont
Version: 20100919-1
Severity: normal

In the FreeMono, FreeSans, and FreeSerif fonts, the glyphs for the
following characters are strange:

  U+2404 SYMBOL FOR END OF TRANSMISSION: shows as "ENQ", should be "EOT"
  U+2405 SYMBOL FOR ENQUIRY: shows as "EOT", should be "ENQ"
  (The above two seem to be transposed.)

  U+240E SYMBOL FOR SHIFT OUT: shows as "SS", should arguably be "SO"
  (This one isn't as clear, but I'm going by the abbrevs from ascii(7).)
