Thanks Dhaval for testing. I have a collection of screenshots for your
reference here:
http://crossbrowsertesting.com/users/34057/screenshots/zc6a1910ebcefa7d4d1c/public
on various browsers. I can confirm the rendering issue in Firefox.  Words like
પશ્ચિમ is rendered wrongly with i matra sign going post base instead of pre
base. Since other browsers are rendering this relatively ok, the issue can be
either in the opentype tables of the font or browser itself. But that is beyond
the scope of the WebFonts extension, extension is not doing any rendering other
than supplying fonts to the browser. So I would suggest:

1.  Gujarati community with the help of gujarati language developers, find out
whether Raghu Gujarati has issue in open type tables. It is quite possible
since I have seen similar issues in CDAC fonts. A support request to CDAC is
going to be time taking anyway.This font was last updated on 2006.

2. Find out if the font renders well once installed locally on various version
of OS. and find out whether it has issues with browsers. If it is browser issue
file upstream bug.

I dont see Raghu Gujarati being shipped in FOSS distros like Debian/Fedora,
probably because  of these issues. 
Also note that Raghu Gujarati font is varying width font(the strokes in glyphs
have varying width), compared to uniform width font like Lohit Gujarati. 

So If you agree,  I am planning to drop this font support.
