bug#50075: 28.0.50; Emacs doesn't "load" font for Grantha script (even when the Noto fonts are installed for that script)

[Ramesh Nedunchezian]

I am attaching the Org file and a screenshot of how it is rendered in Emacs and 
gEdit. 

Note that gEdit renders Grantha script with no extra action on my part. But 
Emacs won't render the Grantha script unless I explicitly set the font to be 
used. 


The Org file attached here is also availabe at
