I have compared many Greek fonts, both PC and Macintosh. MacGreek, from
Linguist's Software, is the most complete I have found. It includes all
possible combinations of accents, macrons, subscripts, and breathings.
It does this by backing up the cursor when necessary, both on the screen
and on paper. One of the reasons linguists should prefer Mac's to PC's
is that you can't do this on a PC. The screen cursor on a PC cannot
back up.

I have heard of a Chinese TeX, but didn't retain any information on it.
The current issue of Communications of the ACM has an article on encoding
Chinese characters. Sorry - I don't have it at hand to provide the
citation.
