Are quotation marks used in Indic text?
Is it better to remove them from the font??
How about other Indic fonts?

ya, sure
>  Is it better to remove them from the font?? 
I would like not to
include those in fonts, but need to check if KDE has
problem 
like "Danda" issue (bug #228267)

i think better to improve shapes in indic fonts itself, so no dependency on
other font

better to fix once for all fonts, thanks alam for notifying this bug it will
really enhance fonts more

oops, sorry i did not noticed this earlier
quote sinlge shape in lohit fonts is as per lohit style, Its sans-serif

so one show in image of other fonts is serif one

so i think we no need to change anything in lohit fonts, 
i will recheck its positioning
