Thanks Valdemar!
Thomas Phinney (Adobe's Product Manager for Fonts & Global Typography at Image iT, Bologna, Italy) talks about designing pan-european OpenType fonts.
I recently had to make a work in Russian, so I started to investigate a little on the subject of non-latin type.
You have here "A Guide to using computers in Russian studies".
For those more interested, next year there will be a TDC Non-Latin Weekend (2-4 March 2007).
More info at this Typophile Forum.
