This is the big hurdle ... the lack of availability of indic open type fonts

Windows 2000 has an appropriate version of uniscribe, the other way of
getting uniscribe that owrks on win98 and i suppose on NT4 .. is to install
IE 5.5 and then install teh Arabic and Thai packs ... this will install teh
same version of uniscribe onto your computer that ships with Win2000

from memory, I think that the Win2000 SP1 updates uniscribe to a more recent
version.
