modifier half rings in italics

[mewtant]

In luatex, the following document produces large horizontal spaces rather than right and left half rings in the italic; the upright is fine.

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
\begin{document}
Kitāb al-Ḥadāʾiq. Ittiṣāl al-ʿAql bi-l-Insān.

\textit{Kitāb al-Ḥadāʾiq. Ittiṣāl al-ʿAql bi-l-Insān.}
\end{document}
% This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.76.0-2013070317 (rev 4627)
% i386-linux

I don’t know whether this is a bug in the font or in luatex — xetex does give me half rings in the italic (though with a space before the A that may be a kerning problem), but luatex has no trouble with half rings in my other fonts.

Many thanks for making these fonts support so many languages and systems of transliteration!

I’ve fixed it in EBG12-Re and -It and in EBG08-Re. Please try http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/fonts/EBGaramond12-Italic.otf
