One Jaguar feature you won't see much press about: Hawaiian language support, thanks to the tireless efforts of Keola Donaghy. I can't find any documentation on it, but the special characters are mapped to option-aeiou. There's supposedly another character to represent a glottal stop but I can't find it (perhaps because it looks like an opening quotation mark?)

While the Hawaiian characters are present in at least Lucida Grande and Hiragino Mincho Pro, I can't get a single Web browser to display them properly—I tried Chimera, Mozilla, OmniWeb and Internet Explorer.
