           Summary: usFirstCharIndex value in OS2 table incorrect
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: roozbeh at farsiweb.info


According to a part of the OpenType standard at the following address:

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/os2.htm#fci

The usFirstCharIndex value should contain "The minimum Unicode index (character
code) in this font, according to the cmap subtable for platform ID 3 and
platform- specific encoding ID 0 or 1."

This is not counting the value 0, which is the ".notdef" character. This means
that the value should be 0x20 for all the DejaVu fonts, as space is the first
character supported. But the value in the fonts, according to TTX and also MS
font validator is 0x0d (13 decimal).
