Issue

There are three major issues related to the sizing and positioning of certain diacritics and marks in Noto Sans Sundanese:

1. Panolong (U+1BA7), Panaelaeng (U+1BA6), and Pamaaeh (U+1BAA) are too small

• These marks appear significantly smaller than the core letter, making them difficult to see when the font size is reduced.
• This affects readability, especially for people with visual impairments.
• In historical manuscripts, these marks are the same size as the core letter.
• Expected fix: Increase their size to match the core letter (1:1 proportion).
• Example from historical manuscripts:
  ᮛᮔ᮪ᮔᮦᮃᮧ
  ᮞᮦᮛᮀᮊᮨᮔ᮪
  ᮚᮧ

2. Sign positioning after Panolong and Avagraha (U+1BBA)

• When an upper or lower diacritic (sign) is added after Panolong and Avagraha, it currently attaches to Panolong or Avagraha instead of the core letter.
• This issue is only resolved in the combination of Panolong and Panyecek, but still exists in other combinations.
• Expected fix: Ensure that any upper or lower diacritic is attached to the core letter, not to Panolong or Avagraha.
• Examples: (ᮊᮧᮀ ᮊᮧᮁ)
  current: expected:

3. Incorrect placement of Panaelaeng with Avagraha

• Avagraha is a gemination mark, meaning it should not break the structure of the word.
• Currently, Panaelaeng is placed between the core letter and Avagraha, which is incorrect.
• Expected fix: Panaelaeng should be positioned before the core letter that carries Avagraha, not between the core letter and Avagraha.
• examples: (ᮊᮺᮦ)
