Thank you for the report. What program did you use to render the above and on
what platform?

I'm seeing the same result that pavanaja is calling "wrong display" here with
the latest versions of the Kannada font and latest version of HarfBuzz. So this
is not rendering engine related.
The character sequence is RA + VIRAMA + RA.
Cibu, can you take a look?

Confirming that the behavior of Window's Tunga font is different from Noto's,
and it produces the rendering described as "correct display". It still may be a
HarfBuzz bug, but less probably so.

I don't think this is useful sequence; meaning, no words exists with this
sequence. So display either way should be fine. Please reopen this issue with
some evidence, if my guess is incorrect.

It seems to me that a Kannada transcription of "cherry" uses the sequence:
ಚೆರ್ರಿ (CA + E + RA + VIRAMA + RA + I). And again, HarfBuzz renders
the string differently with Noto Sans and Tunga. Attaching renderings for both.
Some randoms searches also point me to some transcriptions for "Terra" and
"Andorra".
Back to Cibu.

There are many more words which use this sequence. For example "sarrane", ie.,
ಸರ್ರನೆ

Confirming that HarfBuzz renders ಸರ್ರನೆ differently with Noto and
Tunga too.

I agree with Pavanaja and Roozbeh that, this is an issue and needs to get
passed on to the designer to allow this exception for reph handling.

I checked GSUB table in Tunga font and it has got ರ್ರ specifically taken
care of. Probably something like has to happen in Noto.

Sorry, I had forgotten to inform the designer about this bug. Just did that.
Thanks for reminding..

The designer has extended the render rules in the font to deal with this
problem. The fix will make it into the next font update.
When the shaper software encounters the ambiguious combination RA-virama-RA it
has to decide whether to apply the below base form feature to the second RA or
to re-order the first and apply the reph feature. It turns out it is required
for each font to contain an eleborate contextual substitution and position swap
feature to correct the choice of the shaper.

For the record, the internal tracking issue is noto-alpha/187.

This seems to be fixed in the latest UI fonts but not the document fonts.

The sequence 0CB0 + 0CCD + 0CB0 is still rendered wrongly. I just now checked.
I am using Windows 8.1. Checked in Notepad and MS Word 2010.

Are you using the latest fonts? I'm using version 1.03. I don't have Windows,
but with HarfBuzz, <0CB0, 0CCD, 0CB0> renders the same way as Tunga.

The font that I tested was downloaded today from
http://www.google.com/get/noto/#/. It is version 1.02. Where is ver 1.03?
