devanagari is missing an accent in newest beta
Disclaimer: I know nothing about devanagari, I can only describe changes visually ... I installed yesterday the newest context, and one of my examples of devanagari is now missing an "accent". I'm rather confident that the output was different before the update as I made screenshots when testing this with luaotfload. The affected font siddhanta can be found here http://svayambhava.blogspot.com/p/siddhanta-devanagariunicode-open-type.html Screenshots and code that show the difference and the missing accent in the xelatex and context output are in this comment https://github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/issues/9#issuecomment-431288932 the older (perfect) output is in a comment above https://github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/issues/9#issuecomment-426978522 -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

The missing “accent” is a repha, a form of the consonant ra. It seems to have been replaced by a middle dot, to the right of the base consonant. I can’t be completely sure because it’s protruding into the next consonant so it’s almost indistinguishable from it, but I think that’s what happened. Best, Arthur

Yes, good catch. there is a dot. But I'm wondering if I saw ghosts when thinking that it worked before. I can't find no commit which changes to the "right" output and also in a older context it is wrong. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
I haven't seen the examples since my tablet refuses to display them, but I
wonder if you have run into a difference between Hindi and Marathi
typography. The repha in Marathi is sometimes represented as a slightly
curved stroke between two letters. Googling "eyelash repha" I found this:

Thanks Benct, but the little dot I think I see (actually a square shape) does not look like that.
Googling "eyelash repha" I found this:
The source standard also works :-) The Unicode Standard version 11.0, p. 455 (part of chapter 12, http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/ch12.pdf) Best, Arthur
