Working solutions are quickly being reduced to pango or qt, with pango and qt sharing components (harfbuzz) because they can't really cope alone. Modern text processing is *very* hard. English speakers usually don't realize it till they're flooded with bug reports from non-English speakers (and, probably soon, reports by English speakers, as support for advanced latin typographic features is added to pango/qt). If you want any proof, just check the OpenOffice.org bug tracker. They've not replaced their legacy text stack with pango yet, and get new text bug reports almost every day. (Not that OO.o is especially worse than other apps of the same age, but it's a heavy-duty app so people do report bugs instead of cursing privately). -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
