We do: the metadata of the PDF file indicate that this file has been 
produced by LibreOffice 5.4.

But why does it matter?  The author of that font produced that PDF to 
demonstrate what the font does.  He did not place the various elements of 
each hieroglyphs by hand.  The PDF even demonstrates that with various 
(ligature) options it's possible to automatically change the vertical and 
horizontal placement of elements in a combined hieroglyph.

See attached.  The two vertical joiners are not rendered correctly, 
perhaps they are misplaced/misused in the input?  But the rendering seems 
better than that of Emacs.
