But it lacks Indic scripts, so it's not an option for him, at least not yet.

Indic scripts will be supported in mkiv some day soon (at the ntg meeting there has been a presentation about devanagari etc using the context font machinery and that will be integrated once it's stable).

Hi -- I'm curious to know about your future plans for Indic. Are you going to use HarfBuzz? Even in Indic, I have specific minority orthography requirements due to which I'm using Graphite-enabled fonts. HarfBuzz (new one, not old one) supports Graphite and so my requirements would be met if that is used, but if you are going to develop yet another rendering system (please don't tell me it's so) it would be quite difficult...

luatex does not use specific libraries but assumes all to be done in lua .. the otf machinery in mkiv is lua based (independent, extensible) and support for indic runs on top of that (the additional code is written by some dutchies who need it for high end academic publishing) ... I don't know about specific monorities but demos of several variants were shown Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
