Re: [XeTeX] avagraha+anusvara ligature in devanagari
I know this rule :) But avagraha doesn't stand for any sound, it only marks elision (or contraction) and can be omitted, that's why it can't bear anuswâra, which would explain why fonts don't have any rule to place an anuswâra over an avagraha. If you have John Smith's electronic edition of the Mahâbhârata, you will easily find several occurences of the particular case you're dealing with, for instance: 01058049a अथ ते सर्वशोंऽशैः स्वैर्गन्तुं भूमिं कृतक्षणाः Le 27 août 14 à 10:45, François Patte a écrit : -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Le 27/08/2014 08:20, Yves Codet a écrit : Bonjour.

No, I don't think so: it a sandhi rule: one word ended by aḥ gives o if the following word begins by a voiced letter, in case of this letter is a "a", it is dropped and replace by an avagraha so: छेदः अंशः becomes चेदो ऽंशः and it will not be correct if the anusvara would be on the "o". - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlP9mqUACgkQdE6C2dhV2JUuVgCgo6FbEgNDb+tTJQztMFlgjCL6 b6IAoKJoKNcLzkwuq0Sge8qHkuGTGxs0 =skWY -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

No, it seems to depend on xelatex from texlive 2013:
$ xelatex -v
XeTeX 3.1415926-2.5-0..3-2013060708 (TeX Live 2013)
