I've seen a live disk (Ubuntu based?) with a demo of the SIL Graphite rendering software incorporated into OpenOffice.org and several other text based edit tools, and it is simply astounding what they are doing with these languages and complex scripts. The fonts are just half of the problem. They've also written the rendering engine to display these extremely complex languages. These are the kind of "minority scripts" that no proprietary company would ever even consider working on, because they'd never be able to recover their investment. The fact that they've done all this work under the GPL, and now created this Open Source license for the fonts themselves says a lot about the SIL organization itself.
