PDFs in latin (script) langs only?

 

Hi,

This project is using the ubuntu manual latex-based system to for source files and to produce pdfs.

Instructions to the install latex related software (needed to build pdfs) says:
"Note that not all languages are supported yet (especially those requiring
non-Latin scripts)"

^^that's on the first page of Chapter 6 of the style guide linked to at the top here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/10.10/DeveloperManual

QUESTION: Is this build system limited to producing pdfs for languages that use the latin script?

If so, that would mean, for example, no Chinese, Russian, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and etc.

If so, are there plans in place to support the world's (major) scripts?

Cheers,
Kyle
