Having adopted Unicode based word-processors for Hindi (MS Office XP and Open Office 1.1.1), we have lots of data getting generated in Hindi. The problem is when some of the users want this to be sent to a publisher for getting it published as a book.
First of all, none in the market are having systems who can read our .doc files with Unicode Hindi in it. Secondly, these guys import these .doc files to Pagemaker and generate a Postscript file after due editing of layouts etc. Incidentally, Pagemaker does not support OpenType fonts. I think Adobe is pushing Illustrator for this, and mo st publishers do not have experience on this. I thought of doing all the layout work ourselves and generating a Postscript file to press for final publications. But I ran into problems, not finding proper tools to generate Postscript from Unicode data files. Any one willing to share experience on this?? How about Scribus and Inkscape?? Do Scibus or Inkscape export Postscript?? How well Postscript is compatible with Unicode??
