[XeTeX] Diacritic marks in various fonts

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I removed my texlive Junicode font set (dated 2009) and installed the
"secret" ones from the CVS below, and presto, the minimal example
"sa\d{m}kalita" posted by Nathan worked perfectly.  Saṃkalita, for the
non-Sanskritists, means "added together, accumulated," as, I suppose, a
letter and a diacritical mark.

Best,
Dominik

I suppose there was some bug or missing feature that has been supplied or
fixed since the last release. I suggest that you grab this:
