Well, there are other rendering technologies than Uniscribe; and some of
them even succeed at displaying complex scripts...
For a contrived yet verifiable (OpenSource) example, let have a look at Eric
Mader's LayoutEngine (in ICU) using Apple (GX) fonts with a Unicode cmap.
And yes I am talking of something that can run on Windows.
Chris is correct, as Uniscribe is the undiscuted leader in year 2004.
