Description Praveen A 2008-04-01 17:12:01 UTC
Version:           4.4.0~beta1 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-1)  
OS:                Linux

These are the cases for which qt does not render Malayalam correctly and a patch is provided
1. traditional script conjuncts with postbase matra
2. Malayalam vattu ra glyph for reformed script
3. chillu + postbase consonant + virama
3. Malayalam SAMVRUTHOKARA

Also Malayalam needs to process ZWJ for rendering chillus (pure consonants - combination of consonant + halant + zwj). Pango had a flag SF_PROCESS_ZWJ for this.

patch for 3 cases

This patch was prepared by Suresh for qt3. I have ported it to qt4.4/harfbuzz

We still need a way to process ZWJ (it was working correctly until 4.3)

Hi. Please report the bug to qt-bugs@trolltech.com. We can't do anything with it here. (This category is purely for tracking when we diagnose something as a Qt bug)
