Well, I would be interested in Japanese support and I guess Chnese and
Japanese go close there.
Robert Burns for example has an English->Japanese translator. Reverse input

Well, the unreleased Graphos application which is a rebirth of the old
"gdraw" application of Enrico Sersale surely fits in the DTP paradigm. It is
