[Mlterm-dev-en] A bug in mlterm with indic script

[vlse]

Hello,

1) I build mlterm with
./configure --prefix=/run/termml --with-gui=fb --enable-anti-alias --disable-ssh2 --disable-static --disable-dnd

2) I have set following configurations
a) font-fb
DEFAULT = /usr/share/fonts/TrueType/DejaVuSansMono.ttf:120
U+0B80-0BFF = /usr/share/fonts/TrueType/NotoSansTamil-Regular.ttf:80

b) key
Meta+q=IM_HOTKEY

3) Am running mlterm with
mlterm-fb -E UTF-8 -K super --im=m17nlib:ta:inscript -otl true -bg black -fg white

4) When I type or use echo command to output following tamil unicode characters

echo -ne "\xe0\xae\xbe\xe0\xae\xb2"

a) screen changes to white and nothing is seen.
b) Pressing enter shows prompt
c) no more I can change input methods
d) characters are not shown in tamil but some weird ascented ascii characters

Please help

veera,

I built and tested mlterm-3.8.0 on Fedora 24 by following the steps above.
The result is Loading Image...

Please tell me the result of following commands.

$ /run/termml/bin/mlterm-fb -v
$ ldd /run/termml/bin/mlterm-fb
$ pkg-config harfbuzz --modversion
$ ldd /run/termml/lib/mlterm/libotl.so

I suspect -otl option doesn't work, though I doesn't hit upon the reason.

Hi Araki Ken,

It was nice to know through the pic that mlterm-fb worked in Fedora 24.
And that is the result it should had been.

If run without '-otl true', it just shows a capital 'U' with one little slash above it.

Here are the ouputs of command you asked:

1) /run/termml/bin/mlterm-fb -v

mlterm-fb version 3.8.0

2) ldd /run/termml/bin/mlterm-fb
