Luigi,
Thank you for the link.
Unfortunately this site mentions some typesetting work for research
on Stoicism (and other stuff) and on uploading the manuscripts of the
English philosopher John Locke, but apparently some links are dead
and the maintenance of the site seems to have stopped since ... 2011
. But maybe Hans knows these people?
It's a small dutch typesetting company doing work for afaik publishere
in the the humanities and they are speciaized in non latin scripts
(read: whatever can't be outsourced to large scale service
far-far-away). They use their own plain tex macros (understandable and
possible because no publishere can force to use a macro package for
tricky typesetting).
They do indic scripts and Kai made the first version of the devanagari
code for the context fontloader code that I then optimized. Over the
years we improved that (this also relates to better specs showing up
and more fonts; the reference for rendering is microsoft uniscribe).
We also stepwise improved the more complex bits and pieces of handling
discretionaries with extensive (and complex) latin fonts (that they
use and can test) as well as some fuzzy arabic fonts. it is the main
reason why we have the generic font loader (i.e. most of the context
fontloader works with plain (as we ship it) including some of the
fancy stuff; latex used that code too but with patches and layers
around it and maybe not all features but it switched to using libraries).
So, indeed I know these (two) people,
Hans
