Description of problem: When the same dependant vowel is entered multiple times following a consonant, there is no visual indication available for the same. As a result, its very easy to make spelling mistakes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pango-1.6.0-7 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. LANG=hi_IN.UTF-8 gedit 2. ctrl+space, F6 (switch on iiimf, use phonetic keyboard layout) 3. Enter following key combinations: kooooo, kOOOOO, kiiii, kIIII kuuu, kUUU, keeee, kEEEE Actual results: Even if the vowel sign is repeated over and over again, the display shows just one vowel sign. Expected results: Only one dependant vowel should be attached to the preceding consonant. Repeated vowel signs should be displayed independently of the consonant as a blank dotted circle with the vowel sign. Additional info: the 'k' key corresponds to a vowel, the english vowel keys correspond to hindi dependant vowels in the phonetic keyboard layout. The same problem also exists in Gujarati (gu_IN.UTF-8). Tested on RHEL4B2-20041027.0 using the lohit fonts.
this is also existing for Punjabi(pa_IN). This is very serious problem, when u r using on GTK engine, user is totaly unaware about number of characters to be print, only able to find this if he check that document with some other rendering engine!

I wrote a patch to fix this bug, and multiple dependant vowel signs (indic) can display as more, not as one. The patch was committed in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330407.
Reassigning pango bugs to Behdad.
I wrote a new patch for this bug. The address is below: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330407
My patch has already been received by upstream. It can be closed.
This will be fixed as soon as we push a pango update for fc6
pango-1.14.6-2.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
