Last modified: 2016-07-31 21:30:49 EDT
Description of problem: In lohit-malayalam font, 0D28 + 0D4D + 200D + 0D31 (key 'V', key 'D', key ']' and key ' shift J' on malayalam inscript keyboard) gives the conjunct ' ന്റ ' . But the correct combination is 0D28 + 0D4D + 0D31 (type key 'V', key 'D' and key ' shift J' on malayalam inscript keyboard) which must give the conjunct ന്റ. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open gedit/kedit. 2.Type unicode 0D28, 0D4D, 200D , 0D31(or type key 'V', key 'D', key ']' and key ' shift J' respectively using Malayalam Inscript). 3.Result is ന്റ. Actual results: 1.Open gedit/kedit. 2.Type unicode 0D28, 0D4D, 200D , 0D31(or type key 'V', key 'D', key ']' and key ' shift J' respectively using Malayalam Inscript). 3.Result is ന്റ. Expected results: 1.Open gedit/kedit. 2.Type unicodes 0D28 + 0D4D + 0D31 (or type key 'V', key 'D' and key ' shift J' respectively using Malayalam Inscript). 3.Result must be ന്റ. Additional info:

Appreciate if you could let me know the status of this bug as this has to be fixed immediately before next release. This is a very basic but very critical bug and hence must be fixed urgently. Thanks Ani
Ani,this appears to be working fine in f8. Can you please confirm the problem?

Rahul, we had a personal discussion on this bug last week. Is the issue clear for you or do you still have any doubts? Thanks Ani
Ani, thanks for the concern. The problem is absolutely clear to me. It also has a relation the other bug about chillaksharam right now.
Created attachment 292509 [details] patch for Lohit-Malayalam.sfd This patch fixes the ligature rule in the .sfd file.
Created attachment 292510 [details] fixed ttf file Ani, can you please test this font file before I build it for fedora?
Rahul , I still find this is not fixed completely. Now the result is just the key sequence when 0D28 + 0D4D + 0D31 is used. Problem : 0D28 + 0D4D + 200D + 0D31 has to be used for getting the conjunct. Expected result: 0D28 + 0D4D + 0D31 must give the desired conjunct. Please have a look on the screenshot attached on Comment #5 Let me know if any more queries. Thanks Ani

Please ignore the comment #12 as its a repetition of comment #10. Instead please have a look in the follwing: Rahul, One more thing I would like to mention is that, now as the chillu is not working anywhere, currently 0D28 + 0D4D + 200D + 0D31 is also not giving the conjunct. I have already showed you the glyph of the conjunct in the font file. have attached the same as in comment #11 Thanks Ani
Ani, from the screenshot in comment #5 attached by you, I assume you do not want the conjunct to be formed for 0D28 + 0D4D + 200D + 0D31?
