Package: ttf-mph-2b-damase Version: 001.000.dfsg.2-1 Severity: normal
In Unicode, the letters of the Coptic alphabet follow from U+2C80 in pairs[1]. That is, after U+2C80 COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER ALFA comes U+2C81 COPTIC SMALL LETTER ALFA -- the small variant of the same letter. However, in MPH 2B Damase first come all the capital letters, and then all the small letters. They are not mapped to the code points correctly. The end result is that properly encoded Coptic text is rendered as garbage. The New Athena Unicode font[2] gets it right and renders the text correctly. So I believe this is a problem with this particular font.
