--- Comment #3 from Santhosh Thottingal <santhosh.thottingal at gmail.com> ---
This change was done in a meeting at FOSS.in(2008 IIRC). Rahul, Suresh P and
some of SMC members were there in a bug triage meet up. Samvruthokaram is
aesthetically bad in modern orthography font(at least as per the participants
of that meeting) and mainly found in traditional orthography. P Suresh proposed
a rendering that is close to virama, but show a small visual difference just to
identify it is Samvruthokaram. It was accepted and the change was done in that
meeting. Never heard anybody complaining about that rendering in past 5 years.
In short, it was a conscious decision by font maintainer at that time.
