I've already agreed to the second sentence. But further tests
of the first sentence vote for pessimism:
Lowly Wordpad and Open Source Abiword won't be
able to style individual Tamil Unicode characters -
but you can use them in the old-style hackish way for
TSCII and then you can of course style individual
characters.
Then I downloaded WorldPad from SIL and specially hinted
"Code2000 Tamil Graphite" font for this program. But this
still doesn't work for styling individual Tamil characters.
Other (hopefully positive) test results most welcome!
Regards,
Peter Jacobi
