[Indic] Tamil does not have half-forms either
The Win7 Tamil font does not realy on this behavior, but the WinXP
version does. Handle Tamil like Malayalam: Matras always move to
before base.
WinXP Tamil failures went down from 168964 (15.4752%) to 167
(0.0152953%) (two orders of magnitude reduction!).
Included in this is a minor fixup that actually fixed a few tests
with non-Tamil too. Numbers at:
