WIP - some pretty tables for displaying various (mainly Indian) scripts, based on the hiragana and katakana ones.

2 questions are basic: 1) whether to use nested tables to align symbols and labels 2) whether (in Indic scripts) to have columns for manner and rows for place of articulation, or vice versa.
