You are confusing issues here. Modern Indian language fonts
are Unicode-encoded, and use OpenType rules to aid rendering.
Inscript defines a keyboard input method which specifies what
Inidan-language characters are output upon pressing keys on
a normal English keyboard. The two have nothing to do with
each other.

I understand that Windows, from at least XP onwards, does have
support for Unicode, OpenType, Hindi fonts, and there are various
ways to get keyboard input methods set up in Windows. Thus, one
can take any of the open-source Hindi fonts, and an appropriate
input method to set up Windows so that people can type using the
Inscript layout. Does that meet your needs?
