bug#36020: problems displaying tibetan characters

[Mayer Goldberg <gmayer@little-lisper.org>]

Hello:

I think there is a problem in how Tibetan characters are displayed:

The character sequence

\u0f68\u0f7c\u0f7e\u0fc6\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0f40\u0fc6\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0020\u0f42\u0fc6

Should display as

[image: image.png]

But instead displays as

[image: image.png]

The issue has to do with the character

\u0fc6 = "TIBETAN SYMBOL PADMA GDAN"

which should appear under the previous character, and appears on the right.

I'm using the same font in both the example that works (in Libre Office)
and the one that doesn't (in emacs).

The font I'm using is Tibetan Machine Unicode, available freely at:

http://www.pktc.org/pktc/SFTtypefacesfree.htm

Can someone please look at this?

Thanks,

Mayer Goldberg
