The devanagari script rendering on Emacs CVS is perfect. The problem
you're having is due to the complex text layout rendering support
excluded during compilation. Please check out Emacs bug# 1033[1], where
someone else posted a similar issue. So you need to compile your own
Emacs or request the maintainer to compile Emacs with CTL options.
