<div>If I make defaultlangauge is non-english(kannada or sanskrit) and \setmainfont, the other issues go away.</div>
<div>However, I the hyphen character is still not seen. That is the main isssue now.</div>
<div>Another observation. I also see that other special charactrers like `avagraha', `virama'(danda) are not displayed properly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks.<br><br></div>

<div>Thanks for your time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I included defaulthyphenchar definition as the hyphenation character was not getting displayed. In that sense, the first error is same as the one I have pasted earlier or the next error you in the log. I am not able to debug this error and also don' t know how to make the hyphen character display.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Appreciate your further help.</div>
