Dilip, Thanks for your offer of test data. What I need is a UTF-8 encoded text file containing Gujarati word forms, one form on each line. If that data is available in an unencumbered form on the Web, then let me know a link for downloading. Otherwise, I would need you to post it as an attachment to the current complex script bug [1], and also will need you to complete and send an Individual Contributors License Agreement (ICLA) [2] to the ASF.
Once I have this data, I will be in a better position to add the small amount of code needed to support the Gujarati script, with which I am already familiar [I authored the Unicode Standard's detailed treatment of Indic scripts.] Regards, Glenn [1] http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49687 [2] http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 11:15 PM, dilipvshah <[email protected]> wrote: > > My immediate need is generating PDF with Gujarati text and have a > reasonably > large dataset in Gujarati to test such a functionality.
