All of the above: also, anyone who needs support for OpenType, AAT, or 
Graphite features.  This includes quality typesetting, but also scholarship 
in some fields, not only those that use complex scripts.  Epigraphers and 
papyrologists, for instance, need access to glyph variants which are best 
handled with OT stylistic alternates or character variants, since Unicode 
will encode only one generic form of a character, not all the variants.
