Character-encoded devanagari is not rendered correctly: 

1. ligatures are rendered as separate characters
2. line height is a pixel or two too small so subscripted characters are cut off

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the above URL in Firefox 1.0
2. open it in IE6, which renders it correctly, and compare
3. (open it in Safari to see different and worse rendering errors)



Expected Results:  
1. Render character-virama-character as a ligature, as described in
http://www.unicode.org/standard/where/

2. Line height should be sufficient to show the whole of characters with subscripts
The problem of ligatures - CONSONANT+VIRAMA (halant)+CONSONANT - rendered
literaly (for example, SA+VIRAMA+KA rendered as is, and not as SKA, with a half
SA for the S) has already been mentioned in:

This is incorrect rendering on Firefox, especially the "matras" (vowels) are in
the wrong place. The URL is http://devanaagarii.net/
This is correct rendering of Devanagari (hindi) font. The URL is
