Subject: Pango: Left-Matra placement bug fix for Tamil

Hi All,

I did a patch for fixing the long standing 
left matra bug in Pango.  We tested it in 
Tamilinix list and made sure it works for 
Tamil.  But we need to test it for other 
indic scripts.  Can someone on this list 
test it and let me know if this works, 
at least for Devanagari.

Words that have a half-form followed by 
a left side matra need to be tested
(like 'kki' in Devanagari).

Here is the link for the RH8.0 RPM and a 
patch which should work for Pango 1.1.1 
through current.

We would like to check this into CVS as 
soon as possible, so testing at the earliest 
would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
