I suggest you visit the web site of SIL. Its an organization devoted to 
the languages of the world.  Have some tools that support how to 
represent scripts.

I also suggest you, to take a look to LaTeX.  It is completely capable 
for languages, academic work, building diccionaries and using tailored 
fonts.
