I've never seen Omega used under Linux, nor have I found any good (English)
documentation for it, although it is shipped with tetex and hence with Debian
and probably other Linux distributions. FreeType seems to support OpenType
fonts. Pango (http://www.pango.org) apparently is going to use FreeType at
some point, but is currently hacking some complex script support into bdf
(http://www.wholehog.fsnet.co.uk/robert/indic/fonts.html).
