Yes, it is  using a patched earlier version of harfbuzz. However, patching
is for correcting certain rendering issue for Malayalam and Odiya. Now, I
hope such issues might have corrected in official release of Harfbuzz

It is already done and tested for Telugu daily Prajasakti. They are
planning to roll-out this new editorial work-flow (EWF). Even though,
there a some inertia from editorial team to migrate out from proprietary
editorial package.

The developed plug is very specific to EWF database structure of that
daily. We have to convert it to a generic structure for others to use.

Few weeks back, I have downloaded the source from indic branch ane
compiled. I did not find such issue. Anyway I shall check it once more. Let
