Short description of error
I created a text mesh and edited copy-paste the text from google input tools to mesh and selected the font as Lakireddy.ttf (as shown in the screenshot)
The text is distorted and not as expected.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Copy the desired test from google input tool (selected Telugu language in the input)
Paste the text in Blender (it may not appear until you select the font)
Now chose the font from font explore window ( any external .ttf file lakireddy.ttf in my case)
And verify the font
Font looks like distorted.

I can confirm this. This may be limitation of our font rendering engine however.

Yes, this is a known TODO, we do not have a layout engine currently able to handle complex scripts. See #67452
