Hi, There is a very nice Mac OS 10.3/4 port of LaTeX/TeX which does OpenType fonts very well known as the XeTeX. I have tested it for Indic and Chinese langauges, it does work very well. The nice thing about it is that it takes the fonts installed in the system. I have not tested it for OpenType ligature features, but I suppose it works very well. It basically uses the Mac font engine and may be available soon on Pentium...
Both OpenOffice and Scribus still lacks proper Indic/Chinese langauge support. The story editor in Scribus does it correctly but output doesn't do the glyph substitutions required in Indic langauges (1.3.1cvs 22 August 2005 build). Color Management and PDF features in Scribus is better I suppose than XeTeX. Suki
