Subject: bug#7005: 24.0.50; Devanagari rendering broken
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 21:34:26 +0530

Hi,

Steps to reproduce:
Open a file containing UTF-8 Devanagari script in Emacs. It is rendered
incorrectly. For example, in the word "लिखने", The first and second
rendered characters are swapped. Konsole (Qt) renders this correctly.

A page on the EmacsWiki suggests a workaround that works on Ubuntu
though [1].

Thanks.
