[XeTeX] bug in polyglossia/sanskrit? (problem with diacritical marks)

[Steve White]

Hi Guys,

I ran xelatex on your Tex file on my system, using a recent build of
GNU FreeSerif.
(I don't know if xetex is getting the font from the system
installation or from its own installation.)

As near as I can tell, the results are very good.

Did I miss something?

Is it possible that you have another copy of FreeSerif installed
somewhere, François?
Please do a
fc-list | grep Free
