Till now I also haven't observed this. On looking the velthuis2unicode.otp I found that numerals were not defined. Like wise in other otp's also.

in velthuis2unicode.otp you have to add like this :-

`1' => @"0966 ;
`2' => @"0967 ;
...
...

`0' => @"096F


then in  in hindi-cuni2font.otp the following are to be added in aliases:

ZERO => (@"096F) ;
ONE => (@"0966) ;
...
NINE => (@"096E) etc.


Then we have to add the following also in the same file after {ZA}??


{ZERO} => @"00XX ;
{ONE} => @"00XX

here XX denotes the position /value in the font table. The font table is not readily available hence I am not writing it.

There are also my presumptions and I think it will work.
Within one or two days I will try this scheme and let you inform. In the mean time you can also try??
