--- Comment #17 from Siddhartha Ghai <[email protected]> ---
I just tried saving a pdf from hindi wikipedia. The pdf apparently contains the
text correctly but the rendering of the devanagari combining marks is
incorrect. Copy-pasting the text into other text processors renders the text
correctly.

As far as I know, the Collection extension[1] uses the PDF Writer extension[2]
to create pdfs which uses the mwlib.rl library[3] for the pdf creation. The
library uses the GNU freefont project's fonts.

I think there's possibly some problem with the GNU freefont coverage[4] which
is causing the rendering issues. I may be wrong in this assessment though. It'd
be nice if a developer could confirm the cause.
