Re: [Freebangfont-devel] Pfaedit question

You are not supposed to do that. The splitting of the okaar into the ekaar and 
aakaar and reordering them as ekaar + ka + aakaar is supposed to be done by 
the client software doing the rendering (which has nothing to do with a font. 
Which is why you will see this done in gedit even if you use a font without 
opentype features).

As you can imagine, the reordering is quite complicated when conjuncts and 
ZWJ/ZWNJ get involved (e.g., Yudit has a bug for words like 'jyoti'). 
Microsoft has a page which claims to explain this algorithm as they have 
implemented it.
