If you're referrring to the inablity to perform glyph reordering in 
Indic languagues, that's a known bug 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205476>.  Supposedly 
the move to Cairo and the nsTextFrame rewrite will fix this (on the 
trunk, e.g. for Camino 2.0 and Firefox 3.0; there was an effort to 
get an interim ATSUI patch for Gecko 1.8.1, e.g. Camino 1.1 and 
Firefox 2.0, but it stalled because every fix for one script broke 
something in another script and the result was rather slow, too).

If the issue is something else, a reduced testcase would be helpful 
for all of us non-Hindi speakers :)
