The Macintosh Indian Language Kit supports these scripts.  I have an 
old CD of this somewhere, perhaps the character encodings are 
documented on it.  Contact me if you're interested.

BTW, I would also like to access the cmap language code through 
FreeType; until now I have been interpreting it myself (it's fairly 
easy since cmap subtables have only two varieties for this purpose, 0-6 
and 8-12) but it would be convenient to have a FreeType interface for 
this if it's not too much trouble.
