BTW, I have a different but related question for Michael about Macs, Unicode
and typesetting:

Does Quark Xpress support Unicode, and to which degree?

Particularly, I'd like to know is whether and how well recent version of
Xpress can handle:

1) Chinese/Japanese characters;

2) Arabic characters (bidi, contextual shaping, ligatures);

3) Indic characters (contextual ligatures);

4) OpenType fonts.

If these thing are supported at all, do they also work on English versions
of Mac OS, or do they need a localized OS?

TIA.
