"Font is very easy to view. I am unable to utilize the font due to the following text not being accurate:
-‎ ܕ̣ - dots on the bottom should be side by side
-‎ ܕ݂ - dots on the bottom should be side by side
-‎ ܟ̣ - mark added should be higher, when character is not connect on left side
-‎ ܟܹ - mark added should be higher, when character is not connect on left side
-‎ ܟ̰ - mark added should be higher, when character is not connect on left side"

Chris, do you have contact details for the original reporter? My understanding is that:

• The second example - dalath + rukkakha (U+0715 U+0742) - should be side-by-side and the rukkakah should move to the right, as described in "Context based positioning". @r12a: Actually your example showing this does not seem to move the rukkakah to the right, although that may actually be my fault:

So this is probably a Noto bug.

• The first example - Dalath + combining dot below (U+0715 U+0323) - should probably behave similarly? But I'm not sure.
• The final three examples are the same bug - bottom anchor is miles away. I just fixed that.

Unfortunately it comes in anonymous so we don't have any way to obtain additional input.

@simoncozens There’s a susbsitution like sub uni0715 uni0742' by uni0742.alt;. The bottom_right anchor of uni0715.fina.QR should also be in uni0715 and uni0715.fina. See #23.

The dot of uni0715 and variants could be more to the left as well (along with the bottom_right anchor).
