Dear Ruvan,
Thanks. I'm eager to do it. I talked to Quark team couple of months ago for getting complex script support in Quark. They replied me in such a way that they are not interested on it. Though everybody of us know about its importance but i want to add something to it. All of our print media use adobe products for publishing, specially Quark express. They need another cost to convert the data into unicode. That's why most of the publishing house don't convert their data into unicode. All of them keep their data in ASCII format which is not a good idea.
So everybody should talk about it to reduce this technological limitation. I don't think we have any better solution other than this.

Subject: [PAN Localization] Putting pressure on Adobe... the community way
We left this discussion sometime ago, but I thought
let's start a community kind of pressure group for getting Complex
Script support in Adobe.
Please don't dismiss this as a fruitless exercise - let's try it!
Here's the URL: http://www.adobefor ums.com/webx/ .59b54384
You need to register - I did with my gmail address, but you seem to be
able to even put fake address since there is no authentication. But
maybe, just maybe, Adobe may reply me even if not in this public
forum...
Please do this - it takes 5 mins - and get others in the region to do
so...
Ruvan.
