The bad news is: As Lars Knoll ("our man at Trolltech") just told me, Indic=
=20
support will not be very much improved in Qt 3.1. either. He just has not=20
found the time yet to do this single handed but would appreciate any help=20
(and of course patches) to improve the situation of Indic languages in Qt.

Basically, he is apparently faced with the dilemma that either open type=20
support needs to be implemented  (which is a huge job, esp. with Xft being=
=20
kind of a moving target) or there has to be an agreement on a proprietary=20
font encoding (which is not really in sight yet).

Thomas
