Made several widths and shapes of i sign,
chose between them with a chaining composition.
Then tweaked with a positioning table.

The height of the ii and uu signs should now be corrected in svn.

Also made two forms for the ii. It works, but it could look better.

All these issues were inherited from the Samyak Tamil font from which the FreeSerif range is derived.

The ii and uu vowel signs are placed much too low and just collide with the letter.

Also, the ii vowel sign should have two forms, a vertical curl when there is a vertical bar on the right side of the base consonant.

The i vowel is very crudely sized: it should ideally be narrower or wider, depending on where it connects with its consonant.
