Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4951:
----------------------------------------
Fair point, and you're right — {{PageDrawer}} already pulls in
{{{}java.desktop{}}}, and {{PDDocument}} itself imports {{{}java.awt.Point{}}},
so core isn't actually "java.desktop-free" today. I'll concede that part of my
framing was imprecise.
I'd still go for the split to keep core's mandatory dependency surface fixed,
regardless of how many shaping backends we add and whatever dependencies they
bring with them. Otherwise the shaping backend dictates dependencies in core.
Keeping the interface in core and isolating the shaping engine gives us — or
contributors — the flexibility to introduce new shaping engines without adding
to core's dependencies.
E.g., if we later add a FOP-based implementation but place it in core following
the same pattern as {{{}GlyphLayoutProcessorAwt{}}}, we'd be pulling FOP's full
dependency chain into core for every user — which is exactly what keeping the
implementations in separate submodules avoids.

> Accented Letters composed of Unicode base letter and combining accent are
> rendered wrong. E.g. with 0041 030B LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH COMBINING
> DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT the accent appears at the right hand side of the letter
> A, not above the letter A.
> The position is wrong for most of the sequences defined in the following spec:
> DIN SPEC 91379: Characters in Unicode for the electronic processing of names
> and data
> exchange in Europe; with digital attachment
> [https://www.xoev.de/downloads-2316#StringLatin]
> [https://www.din.de/de/wdc-beuth:din21:301228458]
>
> The correct rendering should look like the output of hb-view 2.6.8, see files
> DIN_SPEC_91379_Sequences*.pdf.
> The output of PDFBox is appended in pdfbox.pdf, which is created by running
> TestPdfbox.java. The sequences are read from file
> DIN_SPEC_91379_Sequences.txt.
