bug#28110: 25.2; crashes when opening a file with Kannada script

[Venkatesh Reddy]

Eli/Andreas,

Here are a few more things I tried.

1. Removed the current libotf and libm17n-flt libraries, installed the versions

libm17n-flt                                    1.6.4-2ubuntu1 

libotf0:amd64                                  0.9.13-3 

Configured and compiled emacs.  This crashes as well.

2. If I set the default font to Noto-Kannada and open the file, It has no issues but crashes as soon as I start adding English words.

3. The crash occurs only when a certain combination of Kannada chars are present along with English characters/Words.

Let me know if you need additional data.

There were no such issues with a variant of ubuntu-14.04.

Regards,

Reddy

Thanks.  Reddy, please compare this with your versions, in addition to
finding out what font is installed on your system for Kannada.
