As this will likely come up in my line of work (tech support and
troubleshooting for products which, among other things, export HTML),
I would be interested in any more detail/explanation (or pointers to
such) about "using Uniscribe for complex text rendering" and/or why
using Arial Unicode MS would cause such a problem, or why using a
different font would solve the problem.

I think I'm "hearing" that some combination and/or reordering
of glyphs is needed for Hindi, and just having the right characters
alone isn't enough... is that on the right track?

Best regards,
Gary
