Bug Description

In Latin script the fonts Aakar and Rekha from the ttf-gujarati-fonts package use a non standard encoding for the glyphs but the characters are listed in a Unicode encoding.

For example: U+00E5 is the glyph ê in those fonts but it should be å U+00E5 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE.

A similar thing happens with the TSCu Paranar fonts in ttf-tamil-fonts. They use the wrong codepoints (Latin1) for Tamil glyphs.
