Could this be achieved if a text-processing software package were produced that could automatically perform a character string to character string substitution (namely Romanized Singhala character string to Unicode character string) that would be applied before any OpenType glyph to glyph substitution? The character string to character string substitution rules could be stored in a text file, such as a UTF-16 text file saved from WordPad, that format being what WordPad describes as a Unicode Text Document file type. Could this be achieved? If so, text entry could use an ordinary QWERTY keyboard and yet the resulting text would be stored using the appropriate Unicode characters for the script and the font would use Unicode mappings.
