To use them in Mozilla, one has to figure out mappings from a seq. of Unicode charaters to a seq. of glyphs. Once mappings are known, it wouldn't be very hard to make Mozilla use them. (I just began to work on a similar project for pre-1933 Korean text rendering. see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176315. Also, see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176290 for a bug on the generic issue of taking advantage of those fonts in Xft-enabled Mozilla.) In case of Pango, it seems like support of hack-encoded fonts is being phased out in favor of opentype fonts. Pango 1.x already has a pretty extensive support of Indic script rendering with opentype fonts.
