There are other OpenType Indic fonts, not from Microsoft, including 
freeware fonts*. There are currently more than 3,000 members of the VOLT 
user group, many of them developing new fonts for Indic scripts and 
languages. Most of these fonts use Mangal as a model, so they also do not 
include any codepage support.

* See, for an example R.K. Joshi's Raghu Devanagari typeface, which is 
freely distributed by NCST.

Language must belong to the Other -- to my linguistic community
as a whole -- before it can belong to me, so that the self comes to its
unique articulation in a medium which is always at some level
indifferent to it.              - Terry Eagleton
