Simple: For split matras that have Unicode decompositions like this: <U+0DDC> = <U+0DD9><U+0DCF> While you add the U+0DD9 and U+0DCF glyphs to the font, also alias U+0DDC to the same glyph as U+0DCF. Ie, for split matras, make the glyph for the character code itself render the entirety of matra sans the left part. This should work with all known shapers then. behdad _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
