Is there a good mono-spaced font for Devanagari script in the Terminal?
I reckon that this is a bug, and is beyond a simple "choose a better font" issue.
The same fonts, including the default Monospace, work fine in all other apps I've tried.
and Devanagari fonts doesn't render properly in Fedora's gnome-terminal either,
but the same fonts works in KDE's Konsole and also in Konsole running in Ubuntu.
I don't know how to follow a reported and accepted bug, but I found a reference to a gnome-terminal / Devanagari issue (from December of 2008)... and perhaps this is the same issue.

...and now that I've played with Konsole a bit more, it has revealed some really nice features... especially Search Output with Regex... wow! Just what I wanted... and the lack of menu-accelerator Keys don't matter, becaue it has fully Kustomizable short-cut Keys... I'm Konverted.... and I've found my good mono-space font. It is called Monospace :)
