Dear Folks,This is a question regarding difference in output when the same file is compiled using xelatex and lualatex. The minimal example below also explains the difference:
---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily{\skr}[Script=Devanagari]{Sanskrit 2003}
\begin{document}
\noindent When this file is compiled by xelatex, the character {\skr क्}
is shown with a virāma or mark at the bottom to denote absence of the
\textit{a} vowel sound.
\medskip\noindent When compiled by lualatex, the same character appears without the right half, and without the virāma. Although this is appropriate as a combining form, it seems to me inelegant when used alone as here. Is there any way to obtain the xelatex result of consonant plus virama using lualatex?
\end{document}
---
The outputs from xelatex and lualatex are attached correspondingly-named
PNG files.
Thanks. Chandra
