This is silly. Are they custom-coding support for just these three scripts? What's the big deal? By just plugging in HB they can get hey presto support for all Indic scripts that HB supports as and when HB supports them. With the modular nature of libraries (as I understand it) hopefully it would be possible for HB to be updated on its own (like on desktop systems) without needing for the entire phone software to be updated (??? wishful thinking?). > And Shriramana, you are one of theHarfBuzz testing volunteers listed > in: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz/Indic for Tamil and > some more languages.
