The formats are irrelevant; the Mac supports all the 'cmap' subtable
formats for all subtables. For rendering complex scripts, however, the
font can only be rendered through ATSUI (or Cocoa), because the old way
to support complex scripts — via an 'itl5' resource in the suitcase
with the 'FOND' and 'sfnt' resources — is not supported on X.
Apple really, really wants everybody to move to using Unicode in their
applications for all their text, and Apple really, really, *really*
wants people to do it for complex scripts.
