Created attachment 82242 [details] The Error list When typing Malayalam using Inscript Non-Unicode keyboard, characters with matra is not displaying correctly. This is hindering the use of inscript keyboard in MAC. Please see the attached file
I am able to replicate the problem (as mentioned below) but that is when I enter the characters incorrectly. If I input the consonant first and then the ligature as it is supposed to then it works as expected. Attaching a screencast for better understanding. http://screencast.com/t/1e1OBGU9ErQ In order to reproduce the problem, perform the following steps: Change the language to Malayalam Click on the show inscript keyboard option from the menu In OO writer, choose a font which supports malayalam font Now enter the following characters in the specified order Enter the character ോ from the keyboard Now press shift and enter the character ള Note that the Consonant is being added in the second step while the matra is the first step and OO writer does not understant Repeat step 4 but invert steps a and b and see that this being the right order, the characters are printer correctly.
