Chromium on Linux had a bug (due to a bug in harfbuzz-old) in the application of 'init' feature in Indic shaper. 'init' feature in Bengali (and perhaps in other Indic scripts) has to be applied only at the beginning of a word, but it was applied even in the middle of a word. It turned out that Harfbuzz-old had already fixed it in the upstream. Chromium's copy of harfbuzz is updated. While doing so, we'd better add a layout test to prevent a future regression (especially considering that we're switching to harfbuzz-ng before long). The Chromium CL fixing this issue is at http://codereview.chromium.org/8895014/

Hmm.. it looks like this is regressed in an opposite direction after switch to harfbuzz-ng in Chromium Linux. 'Init' is not applied in both cases (whether it's the beginning of a word or not). It's my bad that I didn't add a test soon enough. For that regression, I'll file a separate bug after confirming that it's indeed regressed instead of a font issue (not having 'init').

'init' is supposed to work, and I've definitely tested it. Attach test case / font please. Or file a separate bug for the regression and CC me.
