One wishes that Word for OS X, or AppleWorks for OS X, or InDesign
for OS X, allowed one to input text in Unicode. But one step at a
time, I guess. :-)
Actually, InDesign lets you paste Unicode text from a TextEdit RTF
document, but for instance Devanagari ligatures are undone. Maybe you
could typeset Polish text this way but there are certainly
limitations. You can't use a keyboard layout to enter text anyway.
