In 10.3, once the Fonts for Additional Languages (selecting the appropriate
fonts, or 'all') have been installed, and Devanagari input method is turned
on, selecting Devanagari as the input method (while using TextEdit, for
example) will cause the font "Devanagari MT" to be selected and all is well.
