Trying your example with both GNU FreeSerif and with Code2000 with my XeTeX version, 3.1415926-2.3-0.9997.5 (TeX Live 2011), it gives with fontspec.sty 2011/09/18 v2.2a and fontspec-patches.sty 2011/09/18 v2.2a and fontspec-xetex.sty 2011/09/18 v2.2a such warnings:

	*************************************************
	* fontspec warning: "language-not-exist"
	* 
	* Language 'Sanskrit' not available for font 'Code2000' with script
	* 'Devanagari'.
	* 'Default' language used instead.

This can be interpreted as if there are no language specific differences in font shaping when using the Devanagari script. Or they are not built-in to these fonts... In the latter case maybe some "native" Indian font offers the desired script and language support.

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.
