[XeTeX] OpenType fonts in Linux?

[David Perry]

Unfortunately, I do not know any Asian languages, which would limit any 
contribution I might make.  But I will help if I can.  (I am curious 
about how the Egyptian hieroglyphics recently added to Unicode will get 
handled, however; they can go vertically as well as RTL or LTR.  But 
that's not my area of expertise either . . . I'm good with Latin, Greek, 
Hebrew, Etruscan, and other obscurities.)
