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) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
