Here is another dropbox link with further info you requested:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3er09sc7jc8m5kc/emacs-devanagari.zip?dl=0
There are two images:
1. emacs-devanagari.png This is a screen shot of me opening up the
file
in Emacs via command line, and of what the file looks like on my
system.
It looks like all boxes.
2. emacs-Ctl-h-H.png This is screen shot of what emacs shows
after Ctl-h-H command.
As you can see, the South Asian language shows up in boxes,
also 'Hindi' and 'Kannada'
Also (maybe outside of the image) Tamil and Telugu - all South
Asian languages.
You asked what font - when I do menu Options/Set Default Font, it
shows as Courier New.
I have tried changing to Arial, Lucida Sans Unicode, Consolas
with no improvement.
Note: I thought maybe this is due to a deficiency in the fonts in
Windows 10. However,
When I open the file in Notepad, the Devanagari
displays just fine; Notepad
shows that it is using Consolas Font.
Note2: Also, I have a Windows Vista system and this displays fine
in the same Emacs 23 on that system.
Note3: ALso, I tried Emacs 24 on Windows 10, and the same problem
occurs.
So, As of now, it seems like there is a bug in displaying South
Asian Unicode text in Emacs on Windows 10.
