Hello all, I am developing a Malayalam font for use in OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 and KDE. This font also includes latin characters and diacritical marks for the purpose of indic transliteration. The problem is, I need 2 characters (glyphs) which are
latin small l with macron and macron below, and latin small l with diaeresis below which are not available as precomposed forms in the Latin and IPA blocks in Unicode (all the rest are available). Due to this, I have to use open type positioning features in the font for these characters. Unfortunately, Openoffice.org doesn't render the positioning properly, and instead, displays the base character and the mark as if they were 2 characters (ie, one after the another). How does Openoffice do the shaping of latin with diacritical marks ? Does it use the GPOS tables in open type fonts ? In Qt, Latin diacritical marks are rendered using a heuristic, which allows the positioning of the marks (although not very accurately) without the use of anchors. However, this seems not to be implemented in OOo.
