I've just tried this new build with a Sanskrit text in Devanagari  
script. I didn't notice anything wrong in the output but I got a lot  
of warnings such as:

** WARNING ** No Unicode mapping available: GID=101,

and so on. This was with an AAT font, Devanagari MT. There were no  
such warnings with an OT font, Sanskrit 2003.
