I know about these fonts. I tried to explain in a followup message that there's more about this script than just a glyph for each codepoint: the layout of the glyphs in readable text is unusual, and requires horizontal and vertical offsets under control of special formatting characters specific to this script. AFAIK, no existing font that is distributed, let alone distributed freely, supports that yet.
