NWP and Syriac / NWP and other ancient scripts
Posted: 2011-01-17 01:37:07
I am fairly new to OS X, and I have been using Mellel because I was told it was the only word processor that rendered Syriac correctly in OS X.
I am considering making the switch to NWP, but I am curious to know if anyone on this forum uses Syriac extensively with NWP, and what their experience has been. In the little looking around I've done I've noted that the Meltho fonts don't work well with the OS X text engine, but that xenotypetech has a syriac language kit that claims to do this well.
For that matter, I would be curious to know more generally how people find NWP works in scholarly writing that makes uses of several different scripts, such as Greek, Coptic, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, Arabic, and, how suited NWP might be for the creation of critical editions of ancient texts in different scripts.
many thanks in advance!
