You have to make sure to tag the Devanagari part with 'lang="hi-IN"'
for html and 'xml:lang="hi-IN" lang="hi-IN"' for xhtml (if it's Hindi).
That is, you have to do something like this for Xhtml.
<p lang="hi-IN" xml:lang="hi-IN">
...............
</p>
<div lang="hi-IN" xml:lang="hi-IN">
...............
</div>
<html lang="hi-IN" xml:lang="hi-IN">
...............
</html>
<body lang="hi-IN" xml:lang="hi-IN">
...............
</html>
You may also 'style' Devanagari parts with the following style:
font-family: sun_devanagari_font,
default_devanagari_font_on_Windows,
default_devanagari_font_on_Mac,
some_free_devanagari_opentype_fonts,
generic_css_family
The reason you have to put 'sun_devanagari_font' at the beginning
is that 'sun_devanagari_font' is not likely to be installed
on most Windows/Mac OS X so that it doesn't do any harm
while for Mozilla-Linux, it's essential that it's picked up
_before_ other Devanagari likely to be installed on Linux.
Certainly, things should be easier than this, but that's where Mozilla
stands at the moment.

It's not likely to work yet because vocalized Hebrew involves
combining marks (right?).
