One of the annoying problems to which we keep returning and for which we
have no answer or even a hope of an answer for the near future is
complex script support for professional publishing software.

Was wondering if we'd have enough muscle (we need to get India to lead
this!) to press folks like Adobe, Quark (even Scribus?) to move faster
in this matter. It is almost becoming a matter of credibility of our
advocacy of UNICODE!

The alternative is to follow the Tamil Nadu TUNE effort and press for
non-complex representations of our scripts in UNICODE - another
impossibility (as may appear after the TUNE-UNICODE discussions earlier
this year).

Any other ideas? Support Microsoft Publisher? ;-)
