Issue

There is wrong shaping on conjunct-sa + vowel-sign-e. I can't really explain it, but the screenshot below might help.

Character data

Text used on the screenshot below: A sentence from "Geguritan Aji Sasana" palmleaf manuscript, leaf 3B (https://palmleaf.org/wiki/aji-sasana-gaguritan): ᬳᭂᬜᬾᬦ᭄ᬲᬾᬡ᭄ᬥᭂᬫ᭄ᬧᬘᬂᬢᭂᬓᬵ᭞

On my Mac when I paste "ᬳᭂᬜᬾᬦ᭄ᬲᬾᬡ᭄ᬥᭂᬫ᭄ᬧᬘᬂᬢᭂᬓᬵ᭞" into TexEdit and use NotoSansBalinese as a font I get

I'm confused, because Mac result appears to be correct (like the top line). If Windows with the text ᬳᭂᬜᬾᬦ᭄ᬲᬾᬡ᭄ᬥᭂᬫ᭄ᬧᬘᬂᬢᭂᬓᬵ᭞ appears like the bottom line then, in my opinion, this is a Windows shaping problem and not the font problem.

@mahalisyarifuddin : could help me understand?

Weird. 🤔

In my Windows, Vimala got it right.

fwiw, I get the same problematic result with NSB in Chrome on my Mac.

So it doesn't appear to be a Windows shaping problem.
