How can I resolve this?


No, not yet. GNU Emacs is missing means to use particular tables of TrueType or OpenType fonts.

GNU Emacs is primarily an editor for programming languages. These are usually based on Latin scripts. And for legibility reasons the fonts used are mono-spaced, i.e., the characters on the (text) lines are lined up in fixed columns. Each character is unique and stands for itself, there are no initial, middle, and final forms of these characters.

It's possible that GNU Emacs will have, some day, features of a text processor. In GNOME/GTK it is already using Pango...
