Safari on Mac can handle complex scripts just fine. Uniscribe requires an HFONT that represents the downloadable font in order to render, but we could find no Windows API that would allow us to privately install a downloadable font and obtain an HFONT from it. Windows has APIs for doing this for .EOT, but not for Truetype/ Opentype. It's not clear to me how any browser is going to support Truetype/ Opentype downloadable fonts on Windows, but maybe the Mozilla guys have found a technical solution. dave (hyatt@apple.com)
