hi, see my recent post on using Tamil Unicode text data. I wrote a Python script that can convert certain Tamil Unicode-based open-type text (like Askhar, Vijaya, Latha, TAU, .ttf fonts) and convert them to a glyph string that can be displayed inside Affinity apps. This works only for certain Unicode-based open-type fonts. Pure unicode .ttf fonts or non-unicode .ttf fonts do not work as they may not contain all the character glyphs. Right now, this program supports only Tamil. You need to have Python inside installed in your computer with the correct packages for this Python script to work.

See first screenshot that shows the conversion of a unicode text data to the glyph string data. This glyph string data can be pasted inside Affinity and converted to Unicode for displaying the text. See the second screenshot that shows Vijaya font text inside Affinity publisher. This method works only for certain opentype .ttf font types.
