Please consider to include indian patch to emacs 21.3. Before that we need to test and how good/bad is it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.3-17 Additional info: URL of the patch: http://www.m17n.org/emacs-indian/index.html
An initial look at the fonts suggests that the CDAC is not free unfortunately. Also uni-24m doesn't seem to be available (at least the link is broken and I can't find another copy).
Since the next major version of Emacs should have better support for devangari at least, deferring for now.
