No. In the 5.1.0 version, we touched only Meera and Rachana. In the
next version we are planning to upgrade other fonts too. So you see a
visual difference when fonts other than Meera or Rachana is used. This
is because that fonts does not have atomic chillu chacracters, and
fallback fonts are used. So you see the visual difference.
