Kaithi font is mistakenly defining ASCII digits instead of Devanagari digits #14

The Kaithi font is mistakenly defining ASCII digits instead of the Devanagari 
digits.

According to Unicode 6.2, section 10.7, page 347,

"The digits in Kaithi are considered to be stylistic variants of those used in 
Devanagari. Hence the Devanagari digits located at U+0966..096F should be 
employed."

But the font instead employs the ASCII digits, at U+0030 to U+0039.

The cmap in the font should be change to point from the Devanagari digits to 
the glyphs, not the ASCII digits.

To clear the last sentence:

The cmap in the font should be changed to point from the Devanagari digits to 
the glyphs defined in the font, not from the ASCII digits.

We didn't specify Kaithi to have Devanagari digits.  So, Monotype just did the 
default approach of having ASCII digits. Anyway, we need to fix this.
