Earlier I mentioned the Padma extension to Firefox which lets you read web pages in various Indic languages that require custom fonts. I have recently found a Gateway site which converts a number of such sites to Unicode so you can read them on any browser, as long as you have a Mac Unicode font installed for the script:
http://uni.medhas.org/
Scripts covered are Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu.
This site might be especially useful for the iPad and other iOS devices where you cannot install Firefox or add custom fonts.

Useful resource, but not sure if it's all perfect yet, e.g. Punjabi at http://nisot.com ends up with some script f characters where the word 'nun' = 'to' appears in the original.
