Dear Eric,
Thank you very much for your reply. I also understand that your software
runs on MacOS and Linux too and you use your proprietory way of displaying
Unicode Characters. But you also use APIs from Windows and it might be
easier to use Uniscribe for Wiondows.
In my opinion Adobe can get an extra advantage ( I know they are already
ahead of everybody in creativity) by supprting Unicode as all Adobe software
are creativity products. Typography is a big issue in this creativity works.
As Unicode gives the best typography for Indic languages, people will be
definitely be going one step ahead with Adobe products with Unicode support
for Indic languages.
I shall request through you to the policy makers of Adobe to consider the
issue seriously.
As a Adobe product user and Indic Language solution provider I wish we can
do better with Unicode with Indic Languages support.
Thanks and regards
Mustafa Jabbar

This is not my experience with InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, Acrobat

Because of our policy about product announcements, I cannot tell you
whether future versions of specific products will support Indic scripts.
I surely hope we will do so, but I am just a lowly engineer with little
influence on our product decisions.
Eric.
PS: your clock is fast by about a month.
