Re: Unicode available/planned for (La)TeX(3)?



Eric Maryniak <e.maryniak@pobox.com> asks:

This isn't the appropriate list for Unicode and LaTeX questions.

However, yes, work has been going on for several years in the Omega
project to produce support for Unicode in a TeX-like system, and the
TeXLive-3 CD-ROM available from the TeX Users Group
(http://www.tug.org) has Omega on it.

Here are all of the references to the Omega and/or TeX+Unicode work
that I can find in 230,000+ bibliographic entries in the combined
BibNet Project and TUG bibliography archives:
