Hi, We use the input method devanagari-hindi-transliteration in emacs to type Hindi characters. Some of the characters are displayed as fusions (for instance `so'). After reloading the file the characters are displayed in isolation again. From http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SupportHindi I learned that there is a comand that does the fusion:

When you reload a file in which you had typed some hindi, the characters are disjoint and not formed into words. To convert them back, this works for me: M-x indian-to-devanagari-region, followed by M-x devanagari-compose-region.

My question is: Can this be done automatically? I.e. when I load a file can a header line or something be used to rearrange everything in the file? In addition, I printout messages to an emacs buffer and the characters I use there should be fused as well.
