Indic scripts are very dependant on ligatures.  As well as conjunct consonants,
I believe that vowel consonant pairs are taught as ligatures, rather than as rules
for compounding the consonant and vowel mark.   If I remember correctly, Unicode 
doesn't distingush between isolated vowels and vowel marks, but even if it does,
I don't remember seeing anything in SVG that would allow the vowel to be correctly
placed relative to the consonant without using a ligature, especially as the short i vowel
precedes the consonent glyph that it follows in the Unicode, and displaces it right..

I think you either have to remove SVG fonts from the profile, or have a sub-profile which
only supports certain scripts.
