Hi folks,
today I have been testing TL 2010 pretest on both Linux64 and Windows32.
Unfortunately I have been running into segfaults again for XeTeX
on Linux 64 when trying to use OpenType math fonts with XeLaTeX.
It already crashes while loading the unicode-math package, even
before typesetting

Thanks to Peter for creating and releasing this font. Eadui is an
amazing piece of work. If you have a serious interest in what can be
done with OT features, you should at least look at the PDF documentation
if you didn't do so before. And thanks to XeTeX (along with fontspec)

Thanks for sharing this, Mike.
So apparently setting the script makes it pay
attention to whether there is a Bengali base character for the combining
character to combine with. But not specifying the script causes other
problems, namely the combining characters don't combine correctly with a

Many thanks to those who tested my Eadui font, which tries to faithfully

Theoretically, you should be able to use a string such as
Space-ZWJ- to get a combining character in
isolation. However, for Indic scripts, this can fail, because there is
not always a simple one-to-one mapping from combining character input
to final composed output.

Not necessarily. I don't know whether you are on Windows, Linux, or
