I searched for the Lohit Font and seems that it is a font for Punjabi and not Hindi. Can you please confirm which font you are using. I don't mind using any font until it renders properly. Also can you please send me the keyboard layout you are using so that may be I could try it on my system and see if it works.

This is an annoying problem as I have to switch to windows everytime I need to write a document. Thanks for you reply.
