Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm writing because I can't find a solution to my problem.. I would like to display the following hindi text as it is written bellow or e.g. in google search bar<br>
<br>
शक्ति (I put it in google translate and it looks like it means "power" in hindi)<br>
<br>
with the line above the characters (starting at second one) going above from the second character to the last one. But what I get after using harfbuzz is not the same... the last two characters get merged into one and it does not look like what I pasted<br>
<br>
I've checked it with Sanskrit2003.ttf and NotoSansDevanagari-Medium.<wbr>ttf they both produce the same abomination<br>
<br>
Can anyone please help me understand if this is a bug in harfbuzz or if I am doing something wrong?<br>
<br>

I guess you're confused by the rendering of the combination "क्त" (ka, virama, ta). This pair of consonants ("kt") can be written either with a half-ka followed by ta, or as a single conjunct glyph. Which is used is a stylistic choice the font designer will have made.<br>
<br>
Most fonts I've seen go for the single-glyph "kt" conjunct, although the Mangal and Nirmala UI fonts from Windows choose the longer "half-ka + ta" rendering, so if that's what you're comparing to, you may be surprised by the conjunct in other fonts.<br>
<br>
See <a href="http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p276561/html/section67.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://press-files.anu.edu.au/<wbr>downloads/press/p276561/html/s<wbr>ection67.html</a> (scroll down to section 7, "Some forms are completely different...", and note the two examples of the "kt" combination).<br>
<br>
In short: how it looks depends on the font you choose.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
