Cardo rhos fixed
I fixed the badly positioned breathing marks on rho letters in Cardo font. Following the SIL Open Font Licence 1.1 (see http://scholarsfonts.net/cardofnt.html) I renamed it to Crdo Rho. FontForge doesn't handle ttf file directly, it creates its own working file and the new truetype file is generated from that. Therefore I don't know what other things may have changed. Please test.

Eeli, Brilliant. Thanks much. In the image you can see how serious the flaw was. Also in the image, you can see that somehow, you have fixed a problem with BOLD and ITALICS. They never displayed correctly.

Re: Cardo rhos fixed
That's very weird. I did nothing else than moved those breathing marks (in regular), changed the font name and copyright statement and generated the .ttf file. Do the italics, bold etc. come from that same file? Later I even checked the original and new .ttf files with sfddiff and it didn't show any other differences.Paul-Nitz wrote:Also in the image, you can see that somehow, you have fixed a problem with BOLD and ITALICS.

Thank you so much for fixing this annoying error in the Cardo font. In the intervening years since you posted the fix (in 2016?), the attachment you kindly provided has vanished from ibiblio.org's servers.
By any chance, could you repost this file crdorho.zip, or maybe give me some pointers on how to make a similar fix?
I'm completely new to fonts, so although I'm willing to try to patch it, I'm completely new to what needs to be done to make the fix.
Thank you!
