Devanagari Diacritics
Hi, I have a question about Devanagari. Please excuse my limited background with the script. It appears that diacritics are occasionally shifted left or right when rendered using Mangal font. See an example FO file below. The diacritic in the first line is written, but partially covered. In the last line, the Chandrabindu is written after the letter. Oddly, I've seen other examples where these are displayed correctly. Is there something missing in the block definition? Thanks in advance for any help, Ray ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; font-family=Arial fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master margin-top=36pt margin-bottom=36pt margin-left=54pt margin-right=54pt page-width=8.5in page-height=11in master-name=normal fo:region-body margin-bottom=36pt margin-top=36pt / /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence id=DocumentBody master-reference=normal fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block line-height=150% color=black text-align=start font-family=Mangal font-size=24pt नहीं आएँ। /fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root
Re: Devanagari support
Thanks so much for the help. The issue was due to my attempt to use
ArialUnicodeMS as the font.

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.

Hi,
I have a question about Devanagari support. Please excuse my limited
background with the script.
The site shows that join controls are not supported:
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/complexscripts.html, and I want
to make sure the behavior I see is as expected. A basic example of this is
with: में
On command line PDF generation with the example FO file below, this
generates two separate characters instead of the single character above (I
can provide the config, FO, and generated PDF files if it helps). I get the
same result when running with script set to 'dev2' or 'deva'.
If this is currently not supported, does anyone have an idea of when this
support would be available, if there's a workaround, or suggestion for
improving the results?
Also, I'm not sure I understand the distinction between the standard and
extended script codes. Is there a pointer to somewhere I can find out more
about the difference?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ray
