Site: this repo Date: 2021-10-06

Font Version

2.001

Issue

  1. Write any Devanagari letter + any Devanagari umlaut (I used 1CD1).
  2. Umlaut is almost unseen
  3. Umlaut should be seen
  4. In older Noto 1.01 OK. I compared pixel-to-pixel old and new, and new one’s letters are shifted a bit up.

Sorry, I was somehow sure that I had the newest Devanagari — but I downloaded 1.01 somewhere. Maybe because of this bug I rejected the newest version and then forgot?

The vedic accents in Noto Serif Devanagari have been in this position since we first got the sources 3 years ago. I'm not sure where you got 1.01 from, and I'm equally not sure that this is a problem - these very high marks are very high by design (see https://github.com/notofonts/devanagari/issues/27).
