[Indic] Rendering of <consonant> <ZWNJ> <halant> <consonant> <pre-base matra>

["Sayamindu Dasgupta" <sayamindu gmail com>]

Hi everyone,
The sequence <consonant> <ZWNJ> <halant> <consonant> <pre-base matra>
in Bengali should be rendered as <consonant> <halant> <pre-base matra>
<consonant>. However, the
current implementation in Pango renders it as <pre-base matra> <consonant>
<halant> <consonant> which is not correct.

I filed a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427667 and
attached a quick hack as a workaround.
The patch affects the other Indic languages as well, and so my
question is, do users of other Indic languages require this feature ?
If not, the patch can be changed to work for Bengali only.

Warm regards,
Sayamindu
