Title:
  Support for precomposed latin letters for Sanskrit transliteration

Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Latin letters with dot below are used to transliterate Sanskrit.  In
  such transliterated texts it's the precomposed forms that are usually
  used, not "combining dot below".  It would be very nice if Ubuntu
  fonts supported these letters.  There is a lot of existing material
  that uses them.

  Attached screenshot shows an XML-tagged mahāvyutpatti dictionary
  opened in emacs.  The default font is Ubuntu Mono, but you can see how
  emacs has to use substitutions for the characters "with dot below".

  If I'm not missing anything, these precomposed characters should cover
  it.
