Title: Samsung Enterprise Portal mySingle

Hello all,

 

I came up with a workaround for my application.

 

I parse the input string. Whenever a halant (0x094D) is preceded by a non-consonant glyph, I add a 0x200C (Zero Width Non Joiner).

This ensures the output is as per my requirement.

 

However, this is highly inefficient approach. And, user input is not under my control.

Is there a way to do this by tweaking the Harfbuzz source code a bit?

 

Thanks and regards,

Parth Kanungo

Behdad,

Please be nice.

You are well aware that development version of FreeFont have fixed
most of the problems.

A release has been delayed mostly because of my own time restrictions,
not due to any inherant problems in the font.
