Hi Avrind,
This is very cool and extremely topical! One guess I have is
that the font "Times New Roman" used for normal style does not have the
required devanagari glyphs whereas "Arial" used in Heading 1 style does.
To check just select the font "Arial" and see if your text is entered then
try "Times New Roman" and the other fonts we have.
We're very interested in your project as we are right now discussing how
best to deal with complex scripts from South Asia.
Cheers
Martin
