Hi all,

http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/xetex-test/ contains my Devanagari tests.
There is currently only one Devanagari font implementing both Sanskrit
and Hindi and switching the conjuncts according to the language.
Unfortunatelly, both the offitial release and the latest svn revision
fail in XeTeX 0.9999.2 (these are most probably HarfBuzz issues). I do
not know Sanskrit, thus I test mainly Hindi. If someone donates me a
representative Sanskrit text with complex conjuncts, I will add it to
my test suite (I need a free text that I could publish on my test
page).
