[XeTeX] Conjunct consonants in devanagari

[Yves Codet]

Hello.

An easy way to do this is to download XeTeX_doc.zip on this page:

http://scripts.sil.org/cms/SCRIPTs/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=xetex_download

If you typeset AAT-info.tex or OpenType-info.tex, depending on the  
kind of font you want to test, you'll get a list of the features  
available in the font.

Best wishes,

Yves
