3. Regarding fonts on windows 10 (from Control Panel/Fonts):
a. Neither Mangal nor Kokila shows up
b. The only font that I see which mentions Devanagari and other
Indian languages is 'Nirmala UI'
Note: In light of your comment about Emacs and Indian
Language Fonts, this difference between Windows 10
and prior versions of Windows may be the basis of
the problem.
c. When I set the Default Font to Nirmala UI, Then the Devanagari
in the sample files displays properly !!
I found the Nirmala UI font on Windows 8.1 and looked at its OTF
features. I think I know what causes the problem. Please try
evaluating the following expression in "emacs -Q" immediately after
start, and then see whether display of Devanagari works okay after
that:
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'devanagari
(font-spec :registry "iso10646-1" :otf '(dev2 nil (rphf)))
nil 'prepend)
If the above doesn't work, try this instead:
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'devanagari "Nirmala UI" nil 'prepend)
If any of these work, you can put it in your .emacs init file to make
it permanent.
