Not knowing what ATSUI meant I just had a look and found: "Apple Type 
Services for Unicode Imaging (ATSUI) is a set of services for rendering 
Unicode-encoded text"

Then, if ATSUI fonts are indeed Unicode-encoded fonts, support for them 
in TeX means using Omega (omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080), I think. Though I 
have long been planning to try Omega someday, the absence of a GUI for 
it prevented me to do so; and also the feeling that Omega is dying a 
peaceful death and won't be brought back to life.

I hope I'm wrong and Omega is still alive - cos' Unicode based-TeX is a 
great idea - once Unicode gets stabilized. And there, I think, lies the 
future of TeX.
