Sat 13 Oct 2018 05:32:20 PM UTC, comment #7: I am going to redraw the Devanagari and Bengali glyphs. I will move the original, beautiful glyphs to the font/plane00/alt directory so they will be preserved. The only case where this might be useful is if someone wants a BDF or PCF font for a system that does not support TrueType fonts, yet which allows for overlappping glyphs (unlike the original X Window System BDF font handling).

U+090D DEVANAGARI LETTER CANDRA E, U+0911 DEVANAGARI LETTER CANDRA O, U+0945 DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN CANDRA E, U+0949 DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN CANDRA O, U+0955 DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN CANDRA LONG E, and U+0972 DEVANAGARI LETTER CANDRA A render the candra differently. My suggested glyphs standardize on that of U+0911, except for U+0955, where I omitted one pixel for clarity.

Corresponding source code
I have redrawn the Devanagari and Bengali glyphs with narrower consonants in the just-uploaded Unifont 12.1.02, so that vowel should appear better when superimposed. I'm not sure if anyone is actually using these glyphs to write Hindi, Sanskrit, Bengali, etc., so the old glyphs are preserved in the font/plane00/alt/uni0009-orig.hex file -- they look much better in the FontForge sample squares that are on top of each code point. I went over the Bengali glyphs with someone whose native language is Bengali.
