Hello Jutta ( Danke :-)). Yes :-) most Indian scripts look similar
but Punjabi is very different alltogether and although I can speak and
understand, I cant read Punjabi script.
Anyway, hopefully I shall explain my problem properly this time.
In the above example the above word < विक्रम > is written in English
as 'Vikram' but the script (Devanagari) is rendered as 'Vakiram'.
The script renders well and I can see it properly but the the vowel
markings are on the wrong consonant {the lines above, below and to the
left of the consonant are vowel markings}. This happens only for
these two vowels ::
U+093F DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN I
U+0940 DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN II

How I wrote the word ....
1] Applications>Accessories>Character Map> Devanagari .
2] then just drag the consonants and appropriate vowel markings to the
'Text to copy' field.
3] Then cut and paste this to any document (you have to enable UTF-8
support in your software first).
I hope I explained the problem well so please bear with me.
