Omega is an +extension of TeX. Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's +multilingual abilities. In Omega all characters and pointers into +data-structures are 16-bit wide, instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating +many of the trivial limitations of TeX. Omega also allows multiple +input and output character sets, and uses programmable filters to +translate from one encoding to another, to perform contextual +analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode +standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not +only make it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or +complex languages, like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or +Korean, in one document, but will also form the basis for future +developments in other areas, such as native color support and +hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family) and UT2 (omah +family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript format +and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. (from the +Omega WWW site).
