I don't know if there's a better place to talk about this - if so, let me know where would be better and apologies for mentioning it here.
I'm using Gentium Plus and found a bug trying to typeset the word "praȷ̃nā" (wisdom). Here's a test string "aj a/jdotless (U+ 0237) a/jdotless/tildecomb (U+0303)" shaped correctly by HarfBuzz's hb-shape:
