#2382 xetex doesn't handle a devanagari font correctly

[U_Fischer]

This problem as been also discussed at tex.SX:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/257862/problem-with-r-ligatures-in-xetex-with-the-font-sanskrit-2003

When running this document

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Script=Devanagari]{Nakula}
\setsansfont[Script=Devanagari]{Sanskrit 2003}

\begin{document}

किकर्त \sffamily किकर्त 

\end{document}

I get a different output with miktex then with texlive for the Sanskrit font (which I downloaded from http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/sanskrit2003.zip). The second "hook" is at the wrong place:

miktex

texlive

I don't know anything about this scripts, so I don't know what could be causing this. Perhaps miktex-xetex has been compiled with other versions of the libraries. In texlive xetex --version reports this

I cannot repoduce this (see my screenshot).

I'm using this:
http://www.sanskritweb.net/itrans/sans2003.zip
and this:

[U_Fischer]

The "faulty" font on the right (Sanskrit 2003) is in my example this one:
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/sanskrit2003.zip

nakulla works fine.

[U_Fischer]

I tried on another PC: Your sanscrit2003.ttf works fine, "mine" works in TL2015 but fails in miktex. There is something in it that the miktex-xetex doesn't like.

[Christian Schenk]

miktex-xetex uses older library versions:
Graphite2 version 1.2.1
HarfBuzz version 0.9.17
fontconfig 2.10.2

I will upgrade these libraries.

[Christian Schenk]

MiKTEX xetex now uses the latest library versions (see miktex-xetex --version), i.e., the problem should be solved now.
