Orya and Kannada have been removed due to insufficient features for dsplaying text.

Tamil letters are both too light and too big. So scaling them alone isn't an option. It's a problem.

This is from Jacob Poon's report of 2007-10,
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106274

Glyphs in Oriya (U+B00-B7F), Tamil (U+B80-BFF), Kannada (U+C80-CFF) areas have lighter weight than the rest of the font. The bug does not exist in other font variants and families.
