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
