Hello,
   Thank you for your prompt response. My apologies if the
quoting here is not quite right. Yahoo mail is screwing things
up.

Thanks to this file, I found a bug in the m17n rendering component and fixed it.  A new version of the m17n library will
be released shortly.

Great.

I prepared screenshots of the test file rendered by m17n-edit.  We shall be delighted if someone give them a look
and provide us a comment.

They all look fine except for ta + ta (U0B24).  Please look at
the HTML version of the conjuncts file for the proper
rendering. It is also possible that you are using an older
version of the font. If so, please download the latest one
from:
   http://oriya.sarovar.org/download/utkal.ttf.gz

Here are my questions and notes.

1. The following combinations did not result in conjuncts:

   DDA + GA
   DA  + GA
   LLA + PA
   LLA + PHA

   Is it a bug in our system?  Or, does the Utkal font lack these
   conjuncts?

These conjuncts are currently missing in the font.

2. The combination of SA and PHA is shown in line 56.  
However, the example in the right hand side shows the
combination of SA and PA. Is it a typo?
Yes, it is a typo. Thanks for catching that. I will fix it tonight.
Thanks once again for the prompt attention to Oriya rendering.

Regards,
Gora
