Hi,
As per my observations only blwf and akhn has difference between knda
and knda2. Following table shows the difference
knda knd2
blwf c + h h +c
akhn c + h h + c
where h is halant and c is consonant.
I implemented this in Gubbi(Still has some issues), GSUB rules can be
referred here.
https://github.com/aravindavk/Gubbi/blob/master/tools/gsub.fea
That is very useful. We definitely refer gubbi feature file.
Thanks,
Pravin Satpute
