The devanagari sequence &#2361;&#2366;&#2305; is not displayed correctly.
I've also raised bug 212505 separately for a different devanagari conjunct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have a ctl enabled build and the sun-unicode-india encoded
fonts, as mentioned in http://www.arbornet.org/~marcow/howto.html
2. Load http://www.wandel.subnet.dk/hindi.html
3. Type the sequence &#2361;&#2366;&#2305;
4. View the same using mozilla on win2k/winxp with the indic language pack
installed and otf fonts installed (see http://geocities.com/alkuma/seehindi.html
for instructions)
5. Compare the difference.

Actual Results:  

Actual Results:  
The results in (3) and (4) are different, and (3) is incorrect.

Expected Results:  
See the images that I'm about to attach.

The test case.

Comment 2

Attachment: This is how the character should look.

Screen shot taken from gedit with pango, using an opentype font.

Comment 3

Attachment: Incorrect rendering by ctl enabled build

The character is displayed incorrectly.

Might this not be easier to reproduce just by opening composer, pasting in
हाँ in the HTML view, then viewing in preview? I couldn't
figure out how to type in ँ using the tool you link to. (My expertise is
Arabic, not Hindi, so i could be wrong.)

> figure out how to type in ँ using the tool you link to. 

True. The tool is primariy to generate the &# number code by pressing the
buttons corresponding to the characters rather than the other way round.

The method you mention is also a good way of simulation, I never thought about it.

Alternatively you can just try going to
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=127661&action=view
to simulate it on a ctl enabled build.

Making this a duplicate of bug 211921 is more appropriate as this observation is
a subset.
