Dear Richard/Steve
The examples I received in email in the attachment jpg's seem to be from
Bengali and not Hindi. The first letter styling is quite common among
Indian languages. We > have collected few samples for Hindi from mangazines
which are enclosed in > the attachment with remarks and we can therefore
make a preliminary
conclusion that for Hindi it applies to grapheme cluster. In my next mail
we will send few more jpg's.
