Indeed. A real long term "fix" is to drop ICU layout engine altogether
and switch to HarfBuzz, however HarfBuzz lacks Indic shaper right now
(promised to be there by March), once it have one we should consider
doing so (I'd try to give a hand).

      Oooh ! :-) that would be brilliant :-) if we can get that great big (13
+Mb) blob of ICU out of the codebase, and substitute harfbuzz I'd be
thrilled :-)

HarfBuzz can do the layout part, but we still need a Unicode library
though it need not to be the monstrous ICU.
