<br>
I ran an extensive test of devanagari during the TL 2016 pretest<br>
period using XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX and ConTeXt. I cannot guarantee that my<br>
test covers everything but I have not found any error. The only<br>
problem is that the released version of FreeFont does not work with<br>
HarfBuzz, there is another repository (I forgot it) with a not<br>
released version that works or you have to build it from the source<br>
avilable from savannah.<br>
<br>
One of my test files can be found here:<br>
