The bidi version of AW does two-character ligatures, i.e., it can do 
a+b-> c; we do not do more then two at the moment. In future we 
will probably use Pango (www.pango.org) which will take care of 
that. We also do basic initial/medial/final/isolate glyph shaping. 
However, all of this only if the alternate glyphs have separate 
codepoints in Unicode, and I am not sure Indic languages do).
