Hi, I'm using Lohit Bengali. I have the following in my .emacs:
(set-fontset-font t (cons (decode-char 'ucs #x0980)
(decode-char 'ucs #x09ff))
(font-spec :name "Lohit Bengali" :size 16.0))
I also tried SutonnyBanglaOMJ and SoleimanLipi, both of which have the same problem. Please let me know if there's another font that I should try.
BTW, I tried this on Linux Mint 18.1 via a virtual machine, and observed the same problem. I can try this again and report the versions of libotf and m17n_flt if that helps.
Many thanks for your time!
