Hi, Eli - 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.
THanks for looking at it. Let me know if I can do anything more to help the issue to get resolved.

Now, I have problems viewing text files which contain utf-8 encoded text representing Devanagari. The text renders as boxes. A small sample file is in this dropbox link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7uedn6dgwf1p6xj/devanagari_example.txt?dl=0I don't see boxes there, I see what looks like Devanagari characters. (I don't read any of the languages that use the Devanagari script.) What do you see if you type "C-h H" in a session started with "emacs -Q"? Can you post an image showing what you see? Also, what font does Emacs try using for this script on Windows 10?This file views fine (using Lucida Console, or Arial fonts) under Windows Vista or Windows 7 , with this same version of Emacs. I've also tried a newer version 24.x.y version of Emacs on Windows 10, and have the same problem. This file also looks fine in Windows 10 using Notepad++ or even lowly Notepad, and (with slight adjustment of html tags) in Chrome browser. My email is funderburk1@verizon.net. I hope you'll let me know if this can be fixed, since I have used Emacs for 20+ years, and hope to use it in the futureI don't have access to Windows 10, and cannot debug this (and don't see the problem in the sample you posted anyway). I hope someone else will be able to tell what is wrong there. Sorry.
