Ah. Thanks, For me, it does not work on OO.o; but works fine in
IceWeasel.

So, I think https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529905 would
explain it.

So, looks like Indic drafting is b0rked in ICU?

On a side note, I was wondering why the cursor would stay at the same
place after glyph substitution with AnjaliOldlipi. And was thinking of
meeting an opthamologist because spacing looked ugly on OO.o. 

Thanks, you saved me a day and some money.

And this is what I have. 

me at home$ dpkg -l *libicu*
