[Dmitri Yunov <yudmi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Ann.
Yes, we also work strongly with FM/Frame+SGML for a very long time with
practically ANY Non-Western and Western languages on Windows, MacOS and UNIX
platforms/OS. 
Always a standard platform language-specific encoding is used.

The list of these languages has the exception of Thai in UNIX Frame,
probably, and R-to-L, Indic languages die to the Frame poor inner
architecture and its lack of Unicode support.

FM7 list of new features is very good. But not in this area.

Dm.

Dmitri,

It is strange that they to not mention that you can do Greek in
FrameMaker,
I have been doing this for sometime. Also, a assume that you are
referring
to the lack of Arabic, and Middle Eastern Languages in the new product.

Hi, Matthias.

Some remarks..

Most essential distinctions

1. FrameMaker 6 + FrameMaker+SGML 6 => FrameMaker 7 (FrameMaker+SGML 6
has
died)
2. FrameViewer has died (as well as FrameReader)
3. PlacedPDF 1.4 (and it seems, Tagged PDF also) has not been supported
in
UNIX
4. SVG has not been supported in HP-UX and AIX
5. Unicode support in FM7 is THE SAME as in Framemaker 5.5 and 6.

If you like, start FM6 and save Greek (or Polish, Epthiopic, Czech,
Russian
or Thai) FM document as XML with UTF8 encodung. See the result with your
favourite XML viewer.

FM 7 and FServer 7 both have absolutelly the same support of Unicode.
Take a look at the section "Q. Does FrameMaker 7.0 support Unicode
characters in XML files?" in faq_xml.pdf and the section "Q. In what
languages can I author documents using FrameMaker 7.0?" in faq.pdf.
Even the CID-encoding  support that Frame has for CJK, was not used to
extend the language authoring abilities in this new version of great
product.

6. It seems the OpenType font format support (for Adobe OpenType Pro
families f.ex.) is missed in FM7.


Dm.

"$349 for those upgrading from a previous version"
is too expensive. In the currency of the new
post-employment economy, that's 2094 packages of
ramen noodle soup.
