[XeTeX] Re: XeTeX and fonts

[Jonathan Kew]

First step would be the Mac OS X Feedback form, at

	http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/

You won't get any direct response from there, AFAIK, but if lots of 
people submit feedback raising the OpenType Layout issue, maybe it'll 
be noticed.

I do have contact information for some of the engineers and managers in 
the Fonts/Typography group at Apple, but I'm not sure it would be 
proper for me to give this out publicly. But here's a hint.... if you 
look in the mail list archives of the Unicode mailing list:

	http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/

you can find postings by Deborah Goldsmith, and her messages include 
the sig:

>  Apple Computer, Inc.

There are probably other places you can find similar leads, too.
