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

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, 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?
