Hello!
Please forgive my ignorance if this is not the correct question or if
this is not the correct forum to address it! I will describe in a few
words what I want to do.
I need a text editor to write a symbolic language that has many symbols
which are combined to produce characters, just like Arabic or Thai
characters do. That is I need a keyboard interceptor (to know which key
has been tapped and intercept it to a symbol) and a layouting (glyph
positioning) mechanism. I have already created a font containing the
symbol glyphs and a prototype application in java using custom
javax.swing.text.View classes. The problem is that I need a full
application, just like OpenOffice Writer, in order to produce real
documents, with real and my symbolic text combined.
Is there any way I can plug-in the logic of my Keyboard interceptor and
my glyph positioning mechanism in OpenOffice? I have started reading the
Developer's guide but it is vast(!) and I think it does not give me any
clue if what I want to do can be done in OpenOffice. Can anyone answer
this question or point me any web link that can help me figure it out
myself? Code samples would be much appreciated because as a pure Java
developer I have difficulties in starting to understand the OpenOffice
programming itself!
Many thanks and regards
