I have one suggestion: there is a diacritical mark in translitterated
Sanskrit called "chandrabindu" (U+0310). This diacritic is included in
Linux Libertine, but you can use it only above the letter "m". But it is
also needed to use it above an "l" and in that case there is a collision!
With an "l", chandrabindu should be also above (this the way in
devanagari script) or, at least, in translitteration, after the "l".
If it could be corrected, it will be great!
