You do not need to specify the script property, unless the automatic
algorithm doesn't select the desired script. This latter would only be the
case if you are using an older font that supports only the pre-2005
OpenType Devanagari rendering rules ('deva'). The current automatic
algorithm maps to 'dev2', which matches the current OpenType font spec.On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 3:55 AM, Raymond Budd <ray.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a question about Devanagari support.
