Have you thought of creating a fontset? Including statements like

	(set-fontset-font "fontset-11pt_adobe_courier" (cons (decode-char  
'ucs #x0d00) (decode-char 'ucs #x0d7f)) '("code2000" .  
"iso10646-1"))	; Malayalam
	(set-fontset-font "fontset-11pt_adobe_courier" (cons (decode-char  
'ucs #x0d80) (decode-char 'ucs #x0dff)) '("akshar unicode" .  
"iso10646-1"))	; Sinhala

you can advise GNU Emacs to use a particular font for a particular  
range of Unicode characters.

There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists. If  
it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.
