[reportlab-users] Incorrect rendering of Devanagari glyphs by reportlab

Hi,
I am trying to develop an application which needs to create PDF files. The
data I need to publish contains English as well as Hindi text (Devanagari
script). However, reportlab is not able to render the Devanagari glyphs
correctly. The code to write a sample devanagari text to PDF is attached
alongwith the obtained PDF and expected/correct PDF. This code uses the
mangal.ttf font available with windows distribution. It would be great if
anyone could help resolve this issue.

Thanks.

With Regards,
Kush
