  Please don't make assumptions on what is and isn't a priority based on
who sponsored development years ago.  There is no plan or agenda on font
and script support, much less on this particular issue, that should be
considered only on its merits.  And there are for sure bugs to be fixed
in many areas, needless to say, in XeTeX and fonts and other programs
and utilities.  But that shouldn't encourage idle speculations.

	Best,
