I know. If you ask me, its a real shame. The reason we have abstractions and
specifications, we are supposed to be able to figure out pretty much, all the
rules, without having to write language specific handlers. But I think even the
font developers are to blame. They should push these big companies who build
these specifications to do a better job. Anyway, sorry for the rant :)

> Implemented proper rendering of Indian languages, which need extensive Glyph
