[Lohit-devel-list] Lohit Devanagari not displaying ञ्जि properly

[Shriramana Sharma]

Hello. I use the Devanagari script heavily as I am a Sanskrit scholar. 
So I'm using Lohit Devanagari 2.4.5 on Kubuntu Natty. (I was 
disappointed that Kubuntu doesn't ship the latest Lohit fonts so I 
deleted all Lohit fonts installed by default and manually installed the 
latest.) I also use Lohit fonts on the occasions when I have to go to 
Windows XP.

I however find that the syllable ञ्जि is not being displayed properly. 
Please see the attachment. The ordinary left-hand glyph of ि is being 
substituted by the extra long glyph -- possibly under the presumption 
that ञ्ज contains a conjoining form which would come to extra width. 
However, since ञ्ज is handled as a single ligature of normal width, this 
substitution should not occur.

Please look into this. Thanks!
