Do let me know if any help i can do in adding indic support. I am quite 
interested in it.
But not getting proper start.

The things we can improve in old harfbuzz is off course is, detecting 
syllable boundaries, there are some exceptions across scrip for forming 
valid syllable.
Adding ZWNJ also added complexity to it.

And best thing we can do this time, as behdad also mentioned, though 
script share many common properties still exceptions causes problem.
Different function for each script, or for handling exceptions so will 
be very helpful.
