[XeTeX] wrong r+vocalic r ligature in FreeSerif font

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I find the same error as Francois Patte,

Source:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\setmainfont
[Script=Devanagari,
Mapping=RomDev,
%Renderer=ICU
]
{Nakula}
%{Sanskrit 2003}
%{FreeSerif}

\begin{document}
rṛ
\end{document}

The FreeSerif version gives
This was using FreeSerif as distributed with TeXLive 2014, which are the
2012 versions.

If I understand correctly, this was fixed in the font in 2013: see here
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39999>.  However, I deleted all versions of
FreeFont on my disk.  Then I fetched the font sources ( svn co svn://
svn.savannah.gnu.org/freefont/trunk/freefont ) and made them (make, with
FontForge), and the result was not better.

Incidentally, is there a repo somewhere with an up-to-date distro of the
fonts?  It shouldn't be necessary to make them manually, surely?

And is savannah.gnu.org the True Home of the latest versions of these fonts?
