This is hardly surprising, since the Unicode encoding of Sinhala is so recent that almost
none of the Unicode rendering engines available a year ago was able to deal with this
script (and a number of them are still not able).
Anyway, I believe your best way to search would be to look after Omega. Yannis did produce
a Sinhala font years ago, back in the TeX period, and I believe he could have adapt it to
Omega. The mailing list for Omega is <URL:mailto:omega@ens.fr>, and the web page is at
<URL:http://omega-system.sourceforge.net> (changed recently).
