According to the xelatex output in the following example both variants are not correct. What would be needed would be the first two glyphs from variant 1 (knd2 script) and the third from variant 2 (knda script).

dunno, but to start with at least I visually see what's going on:

\showotfcomposition{file:notosanskannada-regular.ttf*kannada-testA at 48pt}{-1}{ಕ್ರ}

\showotfcomposition{file:notosanskannada-regular.ttf*kannada-testB at 48pt}{-1}{ಕ್ರ}

support for knd2 is still in progress, and in knda glyph ಕ (U+00C95) + glyph ್ (U+00CCD) + glyph ರ (U+00CB0) also is not ok ( at least for what I understand until now). I see where it fails ( and where hb does it right), let's see if I am able to find a patch.

fyi, there will be an update for some set set of indic script later this year (most is done but it all relates to available time of those involved)

yes, it's more a matter to see the details under the hood -- luigi
