Dear all,

here is another issue I am facing: I am using a Devanagari font called
Jaini; downloadable from - https://ektype.in/jaini-1106.html

When I set this font as the main font of my document, the letter
conjugating à€¶ and à€² look different that how they should look different that
how they should look like.
Whereas, when I define Jaini one of the fonts and use it, the letters look
fine.
See the attached example.

Why is this happening? (Is a fault in the font?)

Thank you in advance.

With best regards,
-Rohit.

Strange, on my computer it works. I do not have Shobhika, so I get errors
on missing fonts and the characters to be printed in shobhika disappear but
the text in Jaini works, I get twice the right conjuncts.

Hi,

@Zdenek Wagner- After reading your email, I tried this on different
machines and systems, except Windows. Strangely, I get the same result. Two
of my colleagues faced the same issue--- one with documentclass article and
the other with beamer (I am using memoir).
I have written the font developer, and will check our systems as well.

Thank you!

With best regards,
-Rohit.

For whatever it's worth (maybe not too much), I did try the test cases
using a little bit different way: I used the packages fontspec and
xunicode, but *not* the package *polyglossia*.

The result was that both the "main font" and "specified font" appear
(to me) to be the same and also appear (to me) to be the same as "how
it should look like" in the original posting.

I have attached an example tex and pdf file. Take a look if you think
there is any chance it might be helpful.
