Brahmi just like any other Indic script also has the ability to form conjuncts, but despite using "Segoe UI Historic" font which supports Brahmi Conjuncts, Emacs is not able to display them. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add "(set-fontset-font t 'brahmi (font-spec :family "Segoe UI Historic"))" to init.el 2. In the scratch buffer type any combination of brahmi consonant+virama+consonant. e.g. ๐‘€“๐‘†๐‘€ฏ ๐‘€œ๐‘†๐‘€š ๐‘€๐‘†๐‘€ž ๐‘€ญ๐‘†๐‘€“๐‘†๐‘€ญ๐‘†๐‘€ข ๐‘€ณ๐‘†๐‘€ฎ ๐‘€—๐‘†๐‘€“๐‘†๐‘€ข 3. Instead of forming a conjunct they appear separately. It is as if devanagari เคธเฅเคฎ is displayed as เคธเฅโ€Œเคฎ I have attached the correct render from "hb-view" in the file "hb-brahmi.png" and the incorrect render from emacs in the file "emacs-brahmi.png" Note: "Noto Sans Brahmi" has negligible amount of brahmi conjuncts so it will be preferable to use "Segoe UI Historic" In GNU Emacs 28.1.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.17.6) of 2022-04-12 built on a0567577fe19 Repository revision: 322091604b73bf6ef8ca2458a97df41de600dc42 Repository branch: pgtk-nativecomp Windowing system distributor 'System Description: Arch Linux Configured using: 'configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-gameuser=:games --with-sound=alsa --with-modules --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-cairo --with-xwidgets --with-native-compilation --with-pgtk --without-compress-install --without-gconf --without-gsettings --without-m17n-flt --enable-autodepend --enable-link-time-optimization 'CFLAGS=-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -g -flto' LDFLAGS=-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now' Configured features: ACL CAIRO DBUS FREETYPE GIF GLIB GMP GNUTLS GPM HARFBUZZ JPEG JSON LCMS2 LIBOTF LIBSYSTEMD LIBXML2 MODULES NATIVE_COMP NOTIFY INOTIFY PDUMPER PGTK PNG RSVG SECCOMP SOUND THREADS TIFF TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS XIM XWIDGETS GTK3 ZLIB Important settings: value of $LANG: hi_IN.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: @im=ibus locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix Major mode: Lisp Interaction Minor modes in effect: text-scale-mode: t tooltip-mode: t global-eldoc-mode: t eldoc-mode: t show-paren-mode: t electric-indent-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t line-number-mode: t indent-tabs-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Load-path shadows: None found.
