This would be a good idea in the long run, but I'm not sure if we are ready 
for it yet. For example, we would have to be more or less sure that we have 
all the conjuncts covered. Also, not all fonts would have the same set of 
substitutions, for example, Likhan has separate glyphs for da+ukaar etc.

More later.
