Tamil in Word 2008?

[thg]

The published info says Word 2008 can use the OS X Tamil Anjal input
method. Can someone confirm that this really works? It's the first
time Word has been able to support a complex Indic script. It seems
like it should be able to do Devanagari too if it can do Tamil, but
the former is not mentioned.

Hi thg,
Unfortunately, at the present time, this works in all of the Office apps
except Word. There is a font display problem that is affecting our ability
to display these characters.


Thanks,


Curt

Shouldn't this (no Tamil) perhaps be added to the list of Word Know
Issues?
