Description AR Dahal 2011-06-23 03:21:07 UTC

Version:           2.6.2 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

The devanagari script used in South Asian languages like Nepali and Hindi have complex characters that can join and form new words. The Konsole terminal does not display the characters properly, especially when its "half letters" of Devanagari.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply type( or paste) गर्दछन् on the terminal. Instead of appearing as seen here. It appears to be गरदछन .

Actual Results:  
There is a rendering error as गरदछन is seen.

Expected Results:  
गर्दछन् should have been seen.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.38-8-generic

If I save your comment into a text file and `cat` it in konsole, it seems got rendered as your expectation.

If I paste your comment directly into konsole running bash or vim, those characters also seems rendered as your expectation. 

However, when cursor is moved across those characters, it is noticeable that the displayed line will shrink or expand its visual length.

forget last screenshot

Forget to mention the previous screenshots were made in konsole-2.7.999

I think this is actually a specific example of the more generic problem in #96536. Since #96536 has been fixed recently, this problem shoule also be fixed now.
