Hi, I'm uploading a new beta. This one has utf8 as a regime: \enableregime[utf] the xml alternative \useXMLfilter[utf] also works. Some pending issues: how to deal with the utility files and so. I'll look into that as soon as i have to deal with utf cq. hav eproper test files. You should be able to process non western scripts, but the fonts/glyphs are not yet defind (see unic-0*.tex for how we're going to deal with that). Unknown glyphs will show up as a small rule, unless you say: \chardef\utfunicodetracer=1, 2 or 3 There is also a file: http://www.pragma-ade.com/temp/unitest.pdf just to get an idea of this kind of mapping.
