===Extended language support=== Extended language support via Unicode for both OpenType and TrueType is present in most applications for Microsoft Windows {{Citation needed|date=June 2016}} (including [[Microsoft Office Publisher]], most Adobe applications, and Microsoft Office 2003, though not Word 2002), CorelDRAW X3 and newer, and many Mac OS X applications, including Apple's own such as [[TextEdit]], [[Pages (iWork)|Pages]] and [[Keynote (presentation creation software)|Keynote]]. It is also widely supported in free operating systems, such as Linux (e.g. in multiplatform applications like [[AbiWord]], [[Gnumeric]], [[Calligra Suite]], [[Scribus]], [[OpenOffice.org]] 3.2 and later versions,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78858 |title=OpenOffice Supports OpenType Fonts ... |access-date=2011-02-03}}</ref> etc.). OpenType support for [[complex script|complex written scripts]] has so far mainly appeared in Microsoft applications in [[Microsoft Office]], such as [[Microsoft Word]] and [[Microsoft Publisher]]. [[Adobe InDesign]] provides extensive OpenType capability in [[Japanese language|Japanese]] but does not directly support Middle Eastern or [[Brahmic family|Indic scripts]]โthough a separate version of InDesign is available that supports Middle Eastern scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Undocumented functionality in many Adobe Creative Suite 4 applications, including InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, enables Middle Eastern, Indic and other languages, but is not officially supported by Adobe, and requires third-party plug-ins to provide a user interface for the features.
