    OK, this is my interpretation of Sunil's question: He has text data encoded
    in a so-called "font encoding" (e.g. "Shusha"), and he needs to convert it
    to Unicode.

    The Linux Technology Development for Indian Languages
    (http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/isciig/) has two ongoing projects for
    similar conversions:

            - iconverter
    (http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/isciig/iconverter/main.html)
            - ISSCIIlib
    (http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/isciig/isciilib/main.html)
