For the text <U+0915, U+094D, U+200D, U+0020>, I get: emuller> hb-shape ~/fonts/noto/NotoSansDevanagari-Regular.ttf 'क् ' [gid183=0+1204|gid3=2+0|gid3=3+532] which means that a zero-width space glyph is generated for the U+200D. I expected just: [gid183=0+1204|gid3=3+532] Is there a good reason for that choice? Thanks, Eric.
