The new PDF rendering pipeline does indeed use XeLaTeX. I haven't used it to typeset non-latin scripts since a summer I spent at SIL in 1996 (and that might have been Omega, not XeLaTeX), so if you wanted to pitch in and help out I'd greatly appreciate it. To start with, short example LaTeX articles typeset in your script would probably help me ensure I've got all the prologue bits and packages right. --scott

To support complex scriptshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_text_layout we need to use a tex system that can support Unicode and complex script rendering system. Xetex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX works very well with these scripts.I tried the MediaWiki to Latex converter with Malayalam script, and the result is buggy.
