At the current time, no Khmer module has been submitted for
inclusion in Pango. (Experimental modules have been written,
but nothing has been proposed for inclusion.)

There's discussion at:
 
 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125605

Sinhala and Tibetan I still hope to get in before Pango-1.8.0.

I think it should be quite possible to do Burmese with OpenType,
I'm not aware of anybody working on that, or on Pango support
for Burmese OpenType fonts.

For Graphite support, see:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135697

There are some unresolved issues with font selection that make
this unlikely for Pango-1.8.0.
