Hi all, I ran an extensive test of devanagari during the TL 2016 pretest period using XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX and ConTeXt. I cannot guarantee that my test covers everything but I have not found any error. The only problem is that the released version of FreeFont does not work with HarfBuzz, there is another repository (I forgot it) with a not released version that works or you have to build it from the source avilable from savannah.
One of my test files can be found here: http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/freefont-devanagari/ Zdeněk Wagner http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz 2016-06-21 10:10 GMT+02:00 Jonathan Kew <jfkth...@gmail.com>: > On 20/6/16 23:22, maxwell wrote: >> >> Not sure if Will is on this mailing list, but I'm cc'ing him using his >> email address on the fontspec document.
