[pdftex] Omega status/OpenType in pdfTeX

[Geoffrey Alan Washburn]

	Is there anywhere I can look to find out more about the current state 
of Omega?  All the documents on the Omega website seem to be at least a 
few years old.

	Alternately are there plans for getting aroung the 256 glyph limitation 
(or even better does something already exist) so that I can use OpenType 
fonts in pdfTeX without having to carefully write encodings that split 
up the character space?

Thanks!
