  There is an ISCII plugin (displays ISCII text in webpage using fonts installed locally, no dynamic font stuff ) 
ISCII plugin is available from

http://www.iiit.net/ltrc/iscii/index.htm


Some font convertors also  (from ISCII <-> font encoding)

http://www.iiit.net/ltrc/FC-1.0/fc.html

All these are written in C, but should be very easy to rewrite them in Java.
The above are released under GPL.

There are some English-indianlang dictionaries also there in ISCII format . I am working on converting them to Unicode & put them in a SQL database. This would help in translation tools we want to create.

TDIL Team at IISc has developed Inscript input method, for Java 1.4 using opentype fonts.
