Are you saying that if you apply no break to a glyph once, ID will not
break on that glyph anywhere else in the document? As far as I can see,
no break applies only to the text selected.
Whoops! No, I wasn't trying to say that at all. Of course, you'd need to either do a find/replace, or perhaps automate the process with a script. Most of the fonts for the languages I handle (notably Khmer, Lao, and Burmese) have odd proprietary encodings, much like your Shree-Lipi. Because each font family has its own quirks and hassles, I've actually written my own rudimentary text-cleanup scripts to automate the process of applying No Break to particular glyphs, replace spaces, fix problems with discretionary hyphens, and so on. I've gone so far as to include my translator's favorite typos in these scripts.
If you spend a lot of time processing Hindi text, you may want to investigate scripting ID to take the text-prep busywork off your shoulders.
