Glyphs look good.

However, the ttf does not work on Linux.

Fontforge gives the following error

Warning: Glyph 112 is named degree which should mean it is mapped to
 Unicode U+00B0, but Glyph 113 already has that encoding.
Glyph 1271 is called ".notdef", a singularly inept choice of name (only
glyph 0
 may be called .notdef)
FontForge will rename it.
Bad class def table. Glyph range 926-1273 out of range [0,1272)


Regenerating the font works.

Also, the anchors for the GPOS stuff seem to be at the default position
- which does not serve any useful purpose.

And the glyph for "sha" looks like "a" (IMHO)
