I was hoping to  contribute as a student  and planning to apply to this
idea. I have use Latex but havent used XeTex yet. I think that better
unicode compliance will take care of indic languages too. But if the latest
engines take care of complex scripts, where does the problem lie? I will
check Xetex too. Thank you for helping out.
