I think you should pay attention to the issue #69129 (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69129) It is about smart font technology called "Graphite". If you know something about OpenType technology, Graphite is very similar to it, but has something that makes it the best smart font technology of all. Beside that it gives better typographic control to a user, it was originally intented to make it possible for any people to educate, to type and work with a computer in their own language irrespective of (1) to what extent the script that this language uses has sophisticated behavior and (2) whether this language and particular script are used by great or very small community. Graphite unlike OpenType is extensible, free and open-sourced, so the point (2) is attainable with an ease. It has many other advantages. In fact Graphite is really indispensable with the issues of internationalization. Support for Graphite would much simlify the process of localization of OOo and would give much typographic potential to it.
