Hi Phil,
Thank you for your review.
I have updated the summary of the bug to be more specific: “Java does
not render Myanmar script correctly”.
This fix addresses only the rendering of Myanmar characters. Adding
Myanmar script and related languages to the list of supported locales is
premature at this point.
No input method is required. One just types characters one by one; the
correct positioning of the glyphs is highly dependent software support
and the fonts. With this fix, it should work reasonably well.
Regards,
Alexey

The code changes look fine, but nothing you are doing here makes
Myanmar "supported".
It may work reasonably well, but it does not get added to the list of
supported locales - for Oracle JDK anyway.
Also I don't know what input method support might be required for this
besides what
you are doing here on the display side.

1) This is an RFE, not a bug.
I have updated the CR type to RFE.
2) Does this font exist on Windows 7 ?
No, it does not. This font was added in Windows 8.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/myanmar-text
The tests check if the required font is available; if not, an message
is printed and the test exists.
3) This cannot be backported since the older JDK releases will not
support it.
No, it cannot be backported to 8u because ICU does not support Myanmar.
It can be brought to 11 updates.

Hello,
Please review the fix for JDK 14:
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223558
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aivanov/8223558/webrev.00/
Problem description:
Java renders Myanmar script incorrectly. Some glyphs are not
combined, which makes text unreadable.
For example, this glyph ကြ is made of two characters U+1000 and
U+103C. Java renders two separate glyphs.
Workaround:
Enable ligatures or kerning on the font to get the correct rendering.
The fix:
Enables complex layout for base Myanmar characters (U+1000-U+109F).
Provides fallback font on Windows.
On Linux, fontconfig handles the fallback.
I ran awt/font tests, no new failures found.
