If you have Zawgyi installed maybe those languages show up properly. So you should be careful.

Thus, I was aware about some of these fonts being non-compliant to Unicode font system protocol. But I have to make a choice between strict compliance and practicality.

Well, the best is certainly what serves our needs :) When I decided to start having some Burmese words in my blog, I checked on the various fonts in current use.
