Hi, As per the screen shot I pasted in my earlier mail. Text appears in Story Editor is 100% correct, whereas in the canvas all the separate vowels and consonants appears correctly, but in the cases where vowels + consonants combined characters are not appeared correctly.
please bear with me if anything makes you misleading from my mails. Dont hesitate to contact me. I am eager to share my ideas and knowledge with you people.
