We need to work on indic rendering also, in the case of mozilla the
translation is less important than actual rendering of Indic scripts. I
have written to the team in Sun who is working in mozilla localisation
about the work they are doing.
From reading the code, it seems that the are going the glyph encoding way
rather than the Opentype way. They are also using pango. but first let us
hear from them.
