I am not so sure this would solve our problems; it does not really
look finished. From the website:
The standard distribution of Omega also includes a new standard
encoding ``TeX Unicode''. This encoding proposes a typographic
implementation of the data exchange Unicode standard. Its first
part (UT1) covers the Latin, IPA, Greek, Cyrillic alphabets and
some dingbats. The second part (UT2) covers right-to-left
scripts: currently Arabic, Hebrew and Berberian Tifinagh and
later on, Syriac.
Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family) and UT2 (omah family) are under
development: these fonts are in PostScript format and visually
close to Times and Helvetica font families. A Perl utility
creates virtual 16-bit fonts which are used by Omega itself.
Utilities such as odvicopy (extended dvicopy) and odvips
(extended dvips) disassemble the characters of these fonts into
glyphs of the 8-bit PostScript fonts.
I miss the asian scripts in these paragraphs, so we would end up with
font problems again... So I think for my part, I will stick to BBDB
buffer printing. :)
Alex.
