Indic glyphs are missing.
Of course Indic support in Unicode is complicated anyway:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html#indic
I am trying out Tamil support in Plan 9 using TUNE.
http://www.tunerfc.tn.gov.in/TUNE-an_introduction.htm
TUNE is a new encoding with its own problems - but atleast I don't
have to worry about glyph reordering and ligatures. It maps each
Tamil character to one code point.
