<div><br><div><div>This (in general 'Ra') is one failure case we have with
'old-spec' (mlym). The issue is also part of language reformation - the oldlipi had glyphs for all consonants+Virama+Ra rendering 'Ra' as "Post-Base", but the reformed lipi cut the Virama+Ra part into "Pre-Base" to be rendered in front of the consonant.<br>
<br>In this specific example "സ്പ്ര"
(Sa+Virama+Pa+Virama+Ra) ideally, the following in the sequence should
happen (for mlym, at least) to define rendering:<br><br>
</div>1. If there is a glyph defined for "സ്പ്ര" (Sa+Virama+Pa+Virama+Ra) in the font, use that.<br></div>2.
If there is a glyph defined for "സ്പ" (Sa+Virama+Pa), use that glyph
and render the "്ര" (Virama+Ra sign) as pre-base to this glyph. Here 'Ra'kar is render pre-base to cluster of consonants (Sa+Virama+Pa).<br></div><div>3. If there is a glyph defined for "പ്ര", then render it as "സ്പ്ര" (Sa+Virama+ <Glyph for Pa+Virama+Ra). <br>
</div><div>4. Default case to be "സ്്രപ" (Sa+Virama+"്ര" (Virama+Ra sign)+Pa). Here 'Ra'kar is joined with last consonant Pa.<br></div><div><br><br></div><div>Santhosh, please correct/add if I missed something.<br>
