Guys, I am learning vim and it is great. But the problem with
vim/gvim is that it doesn't support any complex scripts like
Devanāgarī. It is not rendered properly. See the screenshots below:

Is there any way to make vim/gvim support complex scripts? This
affects to all Indic scripts. Yes! I tried changing font just in
case, but it didn't work.
I don't know that topic very well. You may want to try an utf-8 aware
terminal instead to find out whether the gvim terminal causes the
trouble. I'm not sure whether knowing this would help much. But
that's what I would try next.

Problem is I don't know any terminal that supports unicode. I tried
gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm and rxvt. They all don't render
properly.
rxvt-unicode is my terminal emulator of choice.
mlterm renders text better when shaping is required, IME.
I don't have any Devanāgarī-capable fonts installed here at work. Will
test tonight when I get home or tomorrow.
