They are sometimes used in posters and word puzzle in newspaper/magazines,  etc. We have tested letter spacing property in some of the Indian languages on various browsers. The test results of Hindi are available at http://w3cindia.in/word_pdf/test-report-for-hindi.pdf   in horizontal spacing section. Letter spacing does well in Mozilla and at some browsers conjuncts character are broken. The expected result is also shown in the document.

I will recommend to use latest version of OS (Windows 8) and if possible cover more platform Linux (Fedora, RHEL) and Mac OS. I got this feedback from community so thought better to share with you all.
