Indic glyphs are missing.
Of course Indic support in Unicode is complicated anyway:

I am trying out Tamil support in Plan 9 using TUNE.

TUNE is a new encoding with its own problems - but atleast I don't
have to worry about glyph reordering and ligatures.  It maps each
Tamil character to one code point.
