--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for reporting this issue.

There are two common ways of entering Nepali text:

- As Unicode, which uses the standard Devanagari codepoints to represent the
text directly.
- As Latin characters, using a specially-crafted font to make those characters
appear as Devanagari.

This bug is an enhancement request to add direct i18npool support for the
latter use case without conversion.

To work around this missing feature, users can currently get correct line
breaking by instead using Unicode. This may be done by converting existing text
with a Preeti to Unicode converter, or by entering new text directly as Unicode
using a Preeti keyboard layout.

Prior to implementing this enhancement, we should conduct some research into
approaches taken by other programs to handle this use case.
