The guys at Indix Project(http://rohini.ncst.ernet.in/indix/) are trying to \
provide support for indic languages right at the X-server level, by \
modifying the X-server itself. Their server(indix) even has support for \
open-type fonts(http://rohini.ncst.ernet.in/indix/technical_details.html). \
But IMHO, it does seem too complicated & whether such a thing is really \
                feasible in terms of stability, et al needs to be pondered. \
