Which problems did you actually encounter? Did the SofijaUC font load fine?
And the GlyphBrowser  (see Boris' experience report which was sent to the list
in several versions) with the text files from www.unicode.org ?

Could you provide an example text? In UTF8 and a screenshot of another system
how it should look like? Currently this only works if devanagriri / telugu is
not a complex script. 

This seems to be the case if I look at
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/telugu.htm

Or are there diacritics. They do not work yet if they are not precomposed.
