Thanks upstream (Kenichi Handa). The fix I got to have correct Indic rendering is to have m17n-db-datafiles installed on system. I request following line to be added to emacs.spec Requires: m17n-db-datafiles Can we have this fix for F-12 and F-11 also if possible?
Also please backport changes in lisp/language/indian.el to display ZWJ Ref http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=5080#80

I just separated the flt datafiles from m17n-db-datafiles to a new package m17n-db-flt which is required by a new m17n-lib-flt library package so f13 emacs no longer needs to require the large m17n-db-datafiles package.
