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.
