Description of problem: As a part of request from the community, I am including the Unicode character U+09FA in the Inscript and Phonetic layouts for Assamese. But the rendering of the character is wrong. The character appears above,to the left of the consonant/vowel which follows it. At present, it is appearing in the same line as the character that follows it. Also, it is not a consonant that combines or a vowel mark that affects the pronunciation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Provided the fonts-bengali are installed, please type the character in raw code. 2. The character should appear to have been typed above left relative to the next vowel/consonant being typed. Should not depend on what follows it and the movement to the upper left shouldn't happen after the consonant/vowel that follows is being typed. 3. Actual results: The character is appearing in line with other characters. Expected results: The character should appear above the line with other characters. Additional info:
Created attachment 158643 [details] Incorrect rendering while typing
Created attachment 158644 [details] Correct rendering Please note that though the character appears to combine with the consonant, it is actually not combining. Further more, though the character appears to the above left of the consonant that follows it, while typing it alone, it should appear like when you type superscripts, without change in font size.
Please note that this letter doesn't combine like U+0981, though the glyph appears to be some what same. While writing, we write this character first and then the consonant/vowel that follows. In case of U+0981, we type the consonant/vowel first and then U+0981 as it combines with the consonant/vowel and gives a nasalized pronunciation. Please do get back to me in case any other information about this character is needed.

Created attachment 292629 [details] fixed ttf file Amit, can you please test this font file before I can build it for fedora?
rahul, i have tested it and runa has also seen it. we are of the opinion that the shape and the positioning of the character might need to be changed a little bit. will get you a proper confirmation in a few days time.
Thanks, I will be waiting for the information from your side.

rahul, the fix seems to be ok.

Additional information: http://runa.randomink.org/misc/isshwar.pdf The above is a scanned copy of the extract of a document written in Bengali explaining the rules regarding the difference in use of Chandrabindu (0981) and Isshwar (09FA). The book titled Bangiya Shabdakosh was published by Shahitya Academy. The isshwar signs used in this document are placed slightly lower than the earlier considered fix. hth Runa
