Unicode font (Karthika) rendering issue

[Bright]

 am working on a Malayalam document, and the font that I used it 'Karthika'. MS Word renders the words correctly and Apple Pages renders them mostly correctly whereas Affinity Publisher fails to do it correctly. Kindly see the attached screenshot. Please fix this font rendering issue.

Are you thinking about Bengali language soon or may be in future ? @Gabe

We would like to support it in the future, but we have no ETA.

I am really want to switch to affinity, but only thing that blocks me is the broken malayalam language support :(

very sad to hear that. I already mention this in Windows Store. after purchase publisher I notice this. now cant use publisher for my production works so back to InDesign again. Hope you will add IndicScript features ASAP.

SEE BELOW IMAGE THE VOWELS AND CONSONANTS ARE MISPLACED AND SEPARATED.

HOPE YOU WILL FIX IT SOON

Not in 1.9 also, disappointed. I wonder how to make the product managers prioritise this request.
