Dear Arlo,
looking into the Devanagari MT font table I am afraid to say that there
is no /ḍbha/ conjunction preset, at least not in my version of the font
(perhaps someone else might have a newer one).
So as long as you are not modifying the original font adding a glyph, or
you are setting up an XeLaTeX pseudo-‘glyph’, highly likely it won’t be
possible.
Working myself on a Devanagari font, I would recommend a simple font
creator & editor (I use TypeTool 3) and / or a proper XeLaTeX build (in
my font I am now up to ca. 2.800 akṣara commands).
The problem, you’re confronted with, might be easiest solved with a
basic font editor adding the conjunction glyph in question. Changing the
font could also be a solution (e.g. Chandas/Uttara).
Best,
Raik Strunz

Dear colleagues,
Does anyone know a way to get the ligature ड्भि to display without
virāma in Devanagari MT, if need be through some amount of XeTeXglyph
fiddling?
I am pasting below the list of ligatures for which I have found it
necessary so far to fake special measures using Devanagari MT. If it is
clear that adopting a different font will make most of these special
cases go away, please advise me.
Thank you, and best wishes,
Arlo Griffiths
