Like most Devanagari implementations, the glyph list in UniType's fonts are
partial glyphs that get combined to form the actual glyphs seen on the screen.
It will not be obvious which pieces make up the ligatures unless you know
something about the script.

A good starting point for fonts and other info is:

There may also be some other fonts at:
