The problem is basically to do with how ligatures are handled when their component letters have different attributes/formats: The sample file has the following text: कन्दर्पकोटेर्यदर्बुदं वीथीर्भजनमार्गान् सद्मान्तर्गृहमध्ये ताभिर्ललितादिसखिभिः But the text within the square brackets is actually bold: कन्दर्प[कोटेर्]यद[र्बुदं] [वीथीर्]भजनमार्गान् [सद्मान्तर्]गृहमध्ये [ताभिर्]ललितादिसखिभिः MSO displays the bracketed text as bold - but of course splits the ligature whose initial component is of one attribute and the second component is of another attribute. But LO does not do that. Instead it turns the bold text into regular and then displays keeping the ligature combined. This issue is not just with bold. The same issue is there even when the bracketed text is italics, bold-italics, a different color, etc. This affects when you compare two devanagari files - the differences (which are marked by different colors) do not show up properly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
