Created attachment 360961 [details] Correct rendering of required combination. From Comment #1, The required combination is fixed in pango-1.25.5-1, qt-4.5.2-13 and libicu-4.2.1-6: 0D36 + 0D4D + 0D31 => ശ + ് + റ = ശ്റ
From Comment #2 Oops!! I realized that smc-meera-fonts is the preferred font (as per the 90-smc-fonts.conf) over lohit-malayalam. Thereby, the required combination: 0D36 + 0D4D + 0D31 => ശ + ് + റ = ശ്റ breaks in lohit-malayalam.
I confirm that this bug is filed for lohit-malayalam-fonts-2.3.8-1 as mentioned in the description. The combination works fine with all smc fonts.
