test

The number of conjuncts supported by a font may be different from another font, so set the font to a specific value.
Identify the clusters that are presented by the font using a conjunct (ie. with a hidden virama) – these are the ones we are testing. (You can highlight some or all of these by clicking on them.)
From the pulldown labelled "Run a test" choose "Letter-spacing".
Check the results.
Test passes if conjuncts are not separated.

  • Gecko: Chrome/89.0.4389.90 Mac OS X 11_2_3 ✘ Most of the half-form conjuncts (which is the large majority of all conjuncts) have space inserted between the glyphs that make up the conjunct (ie. not split into consonants with visible viramas). Vertically-combined glyphs tend not to be split.
  • Blink: Chrome/89.0.4389.90 Mac OS X 11_2_3 ✘ Same as Gecko.
  • Webkit: Chrome/89.0.4389.90 Mac OS X 11_2_3 ✘ Same as Gecko.
