While testing Tamil input in Mac OS 10.5.4, a problem occured. Tamil layouts (Anjal and Tamil 99) as given by Apple with System 10.5 are not listed under "Backgrounds" in the Optimus Maximus configurator. I can type some Tamil letters on the OM keyboard, but the letters are not displayed on the keyboard itself and the Configurator software crashes regularely after seconds only while typing.

What goes wrong?

For me it is very important that all the language inputs works well because I'am working on a school book for students learning German. This book contains texts with glossaries in 18 languages. (Tamil, Thai, Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, Farsi a.s.o.)

I have send 3 times a mail to artlebedev (support) during the last 6 weeks, but until now I haven' got any answer. I' am disappointed about this "support".

Recently I have got a reply from artlebedev. I' am quite happy with it even the problem is still existing.
