Google books search WorldCat Windows Live book search Research Update One of my responsibilities is to look into new publishing applications that would be suited for non-roman minority script languages. I’ve had an opportunity to work with three applications that work with GX fonts: “UniQorn”, “Ready, Set, Go!”, and “TeXgX”. From these initial investigation, it’s clear that UniQorn and Ready, Set, Go! are not suited for long document publications. However, they are well suited for work we do with literacy and other shorter documents. In my opinion I think they could handle most scripting systems but time will tell. I’ll be working with these two applications more during the summer and should know better what their limitations are by fall. As for our long-document publishing, TeXgX is the only viable tool available in the non-roman environment. It’s not what you would class a user-friendly application but it works better than anything else I’ve seen. Jonathan Kew has done a fantastic job of porting TeX over to the GX environment. -Dennis Dresh
