[XeTeX] A problem with a Devanagari font

[Daniel Greenhoe]

For whatever it's worth (maybe not too much), I did try the test cases
using a little bit different way: I used the packages fontspec and
xunicode, but *not* the package *polyglossia*.

The result was that both the "main font" and "specified font" appear
(to me) to be the same and also appear (to me) to be the same as "how
it should look like" in the original posting.

I have attached an example tex and pdf file. Take a look if you think
there is any chance it might be helpful.
