Devanagari font with unicode 6.0 devanagri characters

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The new kashmiri, sanskrit, etc. characters which are part of unicode 6.0; are not shown in kcharselect;

Please see the Unicode 6.0 devanagari character range here:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install nithyananda-1.4991.ttf
2. run kcharselect
3. choose south asian scripts, devanagari, and nithyanananda-1.4991 


Actual Results:  
4. we can that many of the unicode 6.0 devanagari characters are just shown as empty boxes; please see attachment kcharselect_devanagari_characters.jpg

Expected Results:  
5. please see gucharmap_devanagari_characters.jpg (which properly shows the characters albeit with a bug of not using circle with matras)

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2011-07-15 00:15:04 UTC

Qt has no support for Unicode 6.0 yet.

Git commit 62aa40e6e07595bcda9e13b23ce0e79bfa92ae99 by Daniel Laidig.
Committed on 25/08/2011 at 21:33.
Pushed by laidig into branch 'KDE/4.7'.

add support for Unicode 6.0

in addition to updated data files the category of characters is now
stored in the data file as well. this is because the database in Qt is
quite outdated which has lead to weird bugs

Comment 5 Daniel Laidig 2011-08-25 20:08:14 UTC

as soon as you have 4.7.1, can you please check if everything is displayed correctly now?

Comment 6 Christoph Feck 2011-08-25 20:20:05 UTC

Not sure if this commit makes it to KDE 4.7.1, because kdelibs already has the 4.7.1 tag since yesterday.
