Problems w/ Mangal?

[Eric Mader <mader jtcsv com>]

Hi,

I've got my indic-xft shaper limping along. It seems to shape well, but 
when I display Hindi text using an IBM Devanagari font ("Devanagari MT for 
IBM" - built for IBM's JDK) the text display looks pretty bad. In 
particular, the placement of the long-I matra looks way off. (And there's 
no hinting; TrueType Devanagari fonts tend to look pretty bad w/o hinting...)

In an attempt to see if this was a font problem (though the font *does* 
display correctly on Windoze ;-) I tried using Mangal instead. With Mangal, 
I get this error: "Error loading GSUB table 4097" (TTO_Err_Invalid_SubTable)

I've narrowed the error down to a bad ClassRangeRecord in Load_ClassDef2 in 
ftxopen.c. I've tried dumping the GSUB table using the tools on Windows, 
and I don't see the error that this code is reporting - I suspect that 
ftxopen is getting lost somehow and isn't really reading what it thinks it 
is...

Has anyone else seem this kind of a problem with Mangal?

Thanks,
Eric Mader
