Re: [XeTeX] rendering of U+0903

The problem is that AFAIK the Indic scripts are not yet implemented in luatex. The dotted ring is not a part of the glyph. the Unicode shaper (HarfBuzz in XeTeX) knows that visarga is a dependent vowel (matra) and since a consonant is missing, it takes the dotted ring from the font (it should exist

Re: [XeTeX] Quotes and dashes

Your main font is Rachana, your default language is Malayalam. You do not use any language/script switching. Although you define Roman font, it will never be used. You have to use \setotherlanguage{english} and put the English text inside \textenglish{...}. In such a case these texts will be typese

Re: [XeTeX] additional beginL endL nodes in math

Hi all, I do not want to vote but I feel that TeX behaviour was really wrong. When I type an English paragraph quoting in a middle of a sentence an Urdu text آپ جآمع مسجد کی مینار پر جا کستِ ہِں without special LTR/RTL markup, the output will be incorrect although I see it right in the text editor

Dear Shivashankar, I do not know Kannada, I even do not know other scripts, I know only Devanagari and I think that the problems will be similar. Hyphenation in Unicode aware engines is quite simple, if you have the patterns. TeX hyphenates words and a word is defined as a sequence of characters w

Re: [XeTeX] Incorrect rendering of Vedic Sanskrit accents

Hi David, as far as I understand rendering Devanagari fonts, this is handled by the GPOS tables. I would therefore suspect a bug in the font that should be reported to the font desogner. I do not know Snaskrit, I am not able to judge whether the positions of Vedic accents are correct or not. Could
