something cursive but anyhow, there us no urdu language (dflt has to be used)

I reported the bug originally. I changed the fontspec directive in my test file to not specify the language. I got a better output, but still pretty bad.

PS: Btw fontspec does not complain about the language. In XeTeX, my experience has been that if a language is not present, it logs a message to stdout. I am not sure if fontspec on LuaLaTeX has the same behavior, but I did not see a message complaining about language.

Also, here is the otfinfo output:

$> otfinfo -s NotoNastaliqUrdu-Regular.ttf arab Arabic arab.ARA Arabic/Arabic arab.FAR Arabic/Farsi arab.KSH Arabic/Kashmiri arab.SND Arabic/Sindhi arab.URD Arabic/Urdu dflt <unknown script> latn Latin

well, only for gsub, not for gpos where only arab/dflt is defined ... okay we could have another heuristic for that but of course it then becomes harder to *not* use some feature ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
