Emacs on Windows on the other hand displays them differently (but I can't tell if it is correct ). I would guess that the problem is with libotf or libm17n, have you tried looking for updated versions of those libraries? If you are relying on the version your GNU/Linux distribution provides it may be too old, you probably need to build those libraries yourself from an up to date source to get proper support for many Indic scripts. Also, your font may be lacking the information required to compose it correctly, or have the information in a format that libotf cannot recognize, so try different fonts. On Windows I have the font "Vrinda", which I think was from a source of Free fonts, but Windows uses a different OTF engine, so there is no guarantee that will work with libotf.
