For some of the scripts listed below, Unicode encoded fonts ship with
Windows and Office. They are: 

Script          Font            Available with 
-------------------------------------------------   
Gujarati        Shruti          Windows XP, Office XP 
Gurmukhi        Raavi                   " 
Kannada         Tunga                   " 
Telugu  Gautami         Windows XP, Office XP 
Thaana  MV Boli         Windows XP              

The others are being explored to be included in a future release of
Windows. 

Paul Nelson added that some Maldivian web sites also provide fonts for
Thaana.

For several scripts in modern usage, there are practically no workable
Unicode fonts in existence: Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Khmer,
Lao, Malayalam, Mongolian, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Telugu, Thaana,
Tibetan. Please contradict me, I'll be happy to be wrong!
