I expect this "dotted circle" with halant and also a Ra (र)

The halant-ra forms a vattu and that's what you are getting.

Grammatically, it might be inaccurate. But, my problem is related with "input
method".

So, if a user enters something wrong, my application should be able to render it.

That *is* correct rendering.  What do you expect?

Hi Behdad,

 

Attached are the images, I got from the string { 0x094D, 0x0930, 0x0000 };

Also, attached is the test code to reproduce the issue.

 

Thanks and regards,

Parth Kanungo

Hello Werner, Behdad,

 

Probably I am getting things wrong here.

I infer that you are suggesting that the fault lies in the font file itself.

 

I ran my code with different font files available in Windows, like Kokila,
Managal and Arial Unicode MS, all of which contain the Unicode U+25CC.
The output is still wrong.

 

Don't you think that this behaviour has anything to do with harfbuzz?

Ok, maybe then you should send a screenshot, like any useful bug report has.

Thanks and regards,

Parth Kanungo

Get a non-broken-beyond-repair font.  Ie. remove freesans from your

Hmm.  FreeSans is actively developed, as far as I know.  So why not
contact the author so that he fixes such issues?

The maintainer is in fact CC'ed on this message already.  Recent versions have
fixed a lot, but the version stuck on most Linux distros is beyond repair in
the shaper.

In general, I've found that both GNU freefonts and GNU unifont have a
quantity-over-quality mindset that is quite hurtful IMO.
