Praveen,
Could you tell me what is the version of AnjaliOldLipi you use? The latest
is 0.730 and available at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5819&package_id=164880
(I couldn't reproduce the above mentioned problem)
I'm using 0.730 only. The setup I used
AnjaliOldLipi-0.730.ttf
http://plus.sarovar.org/contents/fonts/AnjaliOldLipi-0.730.ttf
Rachana_w01.otf http://plus.sarovar.org/contents/fonts/Rachana_w01.otf
Debian GNU/Linux testing aka etch KDE 3.5.5 GNOME 2.14
As a side note, font implementation cannot be standardized: for example,
Anjali and Rachana use two totally different designs. While Rachana
individually draw each conjunct, Anjali creates its by joining its
components on the fly. So the rendering engine will follow different
execution path for these two fonts. This could be the reason for the
difference in the final output - a bug in the rendering engine.
I'm using QT/KDE. Both Rachana and Anjali needs consonant +
chandrakala + zwj to make it a chillu if it is at the end of a word.
But Rachana doesn't need a zwj if it is in the middle of a word for
example installer
ഇ+ന+്+സ+്+റ+്+റ+ാ+ള+ര+്+ show it correctly in QT/KDE (which is the
best rendering scheme as Mahesh pointed out, pango has many issues)
with Rachana
See
Rachana http://www.flickr.com/photos/pravi/287626741/
Anjali http://www.flickr.com/photos/pravi/287626739/
But for Anjali it needs a zwj before സ to make a chillu from ന. But
KDE rendering messes the whole thing if you put a zwj in the middle of
any word. So for QT Rachana's implementation of Chillu works correctly
and if you put zwj when chillu comes in the middle of a word it works
for both the fonts but messes up the display completely. May be we can
fix QT to make it work. But I think if code positions for Chillu comes
this might get solved (not sure what other problems it might bring
though)
Hope these helps
Regards
Praveen
