(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more

IIUC, all builds include Complex Text Layout by default now. This is a GIF snapshot of how my SeaMonkey build sees attachment 127624 [details] (after zooming in)

I _think_ it's WORKFORME, but I don't know nagari script. Can someone who does check me?
