Created attachment 304135 [details] Sierra screenshot This looks different for me in Safari 10.0.3 on macOS 10.12.3, but still not as expected. Adding screenshot.

Created attachment 304161 [details] Diff between Tunga and KannadaMN font I think something is different in your browser. It is not loading the webfont "Tunga" which is open type font, but instead loading one of the default system font in mac, "KannadaMN" which is an AAT font. I don't know why Safari is not loading webfont from the website for you. Its loading for me in Mac and also in iPhone. If it loading the webfont, then you will sees the issue. The problem is in the Apple CoreText engine working with gpos for open type font. But I have Tunga font installed on both iPhone and mac. Maybe, thats why it is successfully loading the font. Let me uninstall and try it.

The website specifies Tunga (OTF) font but doesn't use webfont. So, if you don't have Tunga font installed on your machine, it will load system default font. In mac, it will load KannadaMN, in iPhone it will load KannadasangamMN. Both KannadaMN (AAT) and KannadasangamMN (AAT) have long laundry list of issues. I will report them soon. I have requested the website admin to either add Tunga (OTF) webfont or Google Noto Sans Kannada webfont (OTF), then you will witness same the issue.

The issue only reproducing with an additional font installed locally would explain the difference of course.

Here is the webpage with different webfonts http://kannadafont.blogspot.com/2017/03/case1-u0c9c-u0cbc-u0cbe-combination.html For open type font: It is Tunga font issue which has issue but not Apple CoreText. Apple CoreText is rendering the open type text correctly. For AAT: Both KannadaMN and KannadaSangamMN has issues in mac. Google noto sans Kannada renders the text correctly.

The error still persists even with nightly build. Please check. Please fix this in Coretext also, so this issue is resolved system wide for mac OS and iOS.
