Why not resolve it properly? Is it just because dev's don't want to mess with alphabets they don't understand, or afraid to make a mistake in foreign language? Just involve the community into it. There is plenty of hand-made translations that resolve this issue. In fact, this "feature" is the only reason why these translations even exist.

Why not just make a good looking bitmap fonts for every language?
Normal cyrillic font
Maybe, it's not a bug,
but why not just fix that?
But it's not just Hindi, wide variety of unicode fonts are affected. The main problem is in the fonts: many fonts are too thin and mismatch overall style of Minecraft, also they are hard to read. If anyone tryes to fix this with resource pack\custom fonts, they are faced with the need to change widths in glyph_sizes.bin And if you do so, all text becomes misaligned.
This makes this problem unsolvable! The only way left is to decompile FontRenderer.java for each version of Minecraft.
Mojang doesn't want to fix this. It's marked as resolved and "Works As Intended". They just don't care.
Wow, that helped. Thank you very much.
rumickon, Did you figure out how to fix this? I'm trying to solve the same problem with no luck.
Nobody cares :'(
But it can cover, there is a texture files in the assets. You can even google already done textures for every language.
