Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I will check the points as you said, as far as the
font issues are considered. We all know how jna,shra and ksh are formed in

Hello,
There are few discrepancies in Indic FAQ. Though it was reported earlier by
Andy White, I see they still have place there in the FAQ. I also clarified

A space followed by a dependent vowel sign should display just the
dependent vowel sign, no dotted circle. Indeed, (except for a "show
