Combining Doug's point with James' mention of Doulos SIL, I'll add that
you should be able to get equally good results with software that
supports AAT or Graphite advanced typographic rendering technologies.
(Of course, OpenType is the one that is most widely implemented, so
James' mention of that alone isn't surprising.)
