Please provide links to:
- the font you use (Sanskrit2003.ttf)
  or are you using the font from www.omkarananda-ashram.org?
 
- expected results (using another program if required)
  as images

- actual result as images

Description:
------------
The results of imagettftext() are - at least for Indian languages - not
totally satisfying:  Consonant conjuncts appear as two consonants with
virama.  In order to display "kta" in Devanagari, imagettftext, for
example,  when given the argument " k + virama + t"
(क्त) should return the conjunct for "kt", but it
does not.

(Instead of the font Sanskrit2003.ttf, use any Unicode font containing
U+0900 - U+097F; for example mangal.ttf).



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
Header ("Content-type: image/png");
$string ="&#2325;&#2381;&#2340;";
$string=rawurldecode($string);
$im =  imagecreate (200, 25);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im,224,224,224);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im,50,100,100);

ImageTTFText ($im, 12, 0, 5, 15, $black, "Sanskrit2003.ttf", $string);
ImagePng ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
The Devanagari conjunct glyph for "kt" should appear, not a separate
"k" with virama sign &#2381.
