Kawabata-san <address@hidden>, please explain about
these issues.

As far as I know, pango contains bdf fonts for Indic
scripts. Kawabata-san can support those fonts within 10
days if he has a time to work on it.
Another way is to use surely free OTF fonts (e.g. raghu.ttf
for devanagari), but for that, we must use freetype library
for rendering <http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html>.
Do you think it's ok to link that library with Emacs?
Anyway, that requires a big work.
