These improvements not only make -it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages, -like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, but -will also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such as -native color support and hypertext features. ...
