Besides matra positioning, there seems to be issues with combining several characters such as ત with ર, બ with ધ and so on.

I just ran the same data with Arial Unicode MS (see attached). There appears to be some issues on matra positioning. I'll look into this.

This is very encouraging, especially because the words in the document are quite complex. I know that many users of my application use Arial Unicode MS on Windows and so that would be a good font family to test. I'm thrilled to see it take shape! I'll be happy to review other documents you generate and once the code is stable, would be happy to test it out.

Could you take a quick look to verify. I used an excerpt from [1] as a sample. I currently have only the Shruti (regular and bold) fonts from Windows 7 to test against. Do you have other Gujarati OpenType (1.5 or later) fonts you would like me to verify?
