<a href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.0.0/ch09.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.0.0/ch09.pdf</a><br><br>2. Also the open type font has  open type tables,  glyph substitution (gsub) /  glyph positioning (gpos) which also has some info embedded into the font itself how to get reshaped glyphs.<br>
<br>Is Harfbuzz  reading the font and applying the GSUB rules, apply indic specific rules and reshaping ?. <br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif">
Also trying to understand how it knows glyphid  N  is  reshaped glyph char
