In Windows, the recommended way to map from Unicode characters to the glyphs
in an Indic script font is to use OpenType tables in the fontfile. So, if you
want to create "Unicode" fonts for Indic scripts to run under Microsoft
Windows then you might start by reading: :

"Creating and supporting OpenType fonts for Indic scripts" at:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/indicot/default.htm

and

"Converting a Devanagari font to Unicode / OTL" at:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/devanagari.htm

You should also read the OpenType specification:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/otsp125.zip

After reading these documents you will probably have a lot of questions, so
you will probably also want to join the OpenType discussion forum (see:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/otlist.htm ) where you may be able
to get these questions answered.
