Similar to Apple's Lucida Grande, many of our updated Office fonts now include Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Greek, Cyrillic, and Latin Extended Additional characters, etc. For example, the version of Times New Roman that shipped with Office X only included 296 characters. In Office 2004, the same font now has 1,176 characters.
Han-Yi, I think you and Peter are talking past each other. Perhaps a couple of examples will clarify things:
If I have a Word document in a LTR script that does not require any complex layout for typical text, but which is not on your tentative list of supported keyboards -- say Ogham or Runic -- using a Unicode encoded OT font that I can install on Mac OS, will Mac Office correctly display this document?
If I make my own keyboard driver using Apple's new XML-based keyboard tools, will Mac Office recognise this keyboard and allow me to input Unicode text using it?
