Issue

There is wrong shaping on final consonants. I can't really explain it, but the screenshot below might help. This problem is similar to issue notofonts/javanese#28

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): ᬤᬾᬦᬶᬂᬢᬸᬢᬸᬕ᭄‌ᬭᬾᬗ᭄ᬕᬂᬭᬾᬗ᭄ᬕᭀᬂ᭞

On my Mac using TextEdit, I obtain the same results, so this appears to be a font issue:

adtbayuperdana commented 3 years ago

it seems that the main problem is ulu ricem (uni1B01) cecak (uni1B02) or layar (uni1B03) sits above tedong (uni1B35). Correct rendering should have put those diacritics above the main aksara, not the tedong itself

this seems seems to be correct in the common holy syllable om ᬒᬁ. so however indeed, this reordering does not seem to be applied to other aksaras. Common examples include tong agöng ᬅᬕᭃᬂ and jöng ᬚᭃᬂ
