LingNing, any comments on this?

U+0BB6 is existing in Unicode 5, it is consonant. But it is not existing in
IndicOTCharClass of Pango, it is only "_xx", so it need be modified to "_ct".
The patch of parag did this.
And I think there are many characters' class which need be modified because of
updating in Unicode 5 in IndicOTCharClass of Pango.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

Comment 4 Padmanabhan V. K. 2009-01-23 17:20:22 UTC
Please reopen this bug. The bleeding edge version of Pango still has U+0BB6's type as _xx instead of _ct:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/pango/trunk/modules/indic/indic-ot-class-tables.c?revision=2684&view=markup

and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481203 is still open.

Comment 5 Venkatraman Balasubramanian 2009-02-04 07:29:05 UTC
This is a huge disturbance in using my Linux box. This U+0BB6 works great when combined with U+0BC7 etc., in my Mac OSX box. 

Like Padmanabhan stated here, Pango has to be fixed to make Linux be in compliance with Unicode 4.1 and higher. Please re-open this bug.
