This isn't right. The test MUST use the Indic and Thai characters else the test 
is pointless.
The problem of them being unavailable in the font should be solved by using 
Font.canDisplay(char)
to find a font that DOES support them.
If no font supports them, then it becomes a question of policy .. do you want 
the test to silently pass
or should the test fail because the system running this test really should have 
those fonts.
