In texorks it doesn't matter if I choose a sans serif or mono spaced
font. It just switches automatically to the devanagari font when I type
devanagari. 

Likewise in gvim. It switches to devanagari, only the ligatures are
wrong. The devanagari characters itself are ok. But Sanskrit relies
heavily on ligatures. There are I'd say over 800 (perhaps even 1000)
known ligatures. 


It is not clear to me how those editors choose a devanagari font when
none was configured in their preferences.
