            Bug ID: 139863
           Summary: Grantha consonants combining with Vedic svara markers
                    are not displayed correctly
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: samjnaa at gmail.com

Description:
Plain Grantha text is displayed well in LibreOffice AFAICS. But once I start
using Vedic svara markers the base character to such markers is not displayed
correctly.

This is a serious problem for the native user community since a significant
percentage of daily users of Grantha are Vedic scholars who would like to
display and print Grantha text with Vedic svara markers.

Steps to Reproduce:
Download and install the Noto Sans/Serif Grantha font from:

https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/blob/master/hinted/ttf/NotoSansGrantha/NotoSansGrantha-Regular.ttf
https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/blob/master/hinted/ttf/NotoSerifGrantha/NotoSerifGrantha-Regular.ttf

Open LibreOffice. Select the above font.

Input 𑌕 (Grantha KA).
Input ॑ (common Vedic svara marker for Indic encoded in the Devanagari block)


Actual Results:
The 𑌕 is replaced by an empty box.

Expected Results:
The combination should be properly displayed.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
In other cases the character preceding svara markers is displayed as a question
mark within a diamond.
