What exactly do you need? With FreeType 1.x comes support for
OpenType GSUB and GPOS tables (recently updated to cover OpenType
version 1.3):
ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/unstable/freetype-current.tar.gz
IIRC, the Pango complex script layout library uses this (ported to
FreeType 2.x), so it is possible to make applications on Linux and
similar platforms OpenType-aware. I don't know whether Pango already
has a module for Burmese -- I'm quite sure that the author of Pango
would be happy if you can contribute something :-)
