Hi Glen, Any update on FOP release date with Gujarati font support?
Thanks, Dilip From: Glenn Adams Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 12:35 PM To: Dilip Shah Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Gujarati Support [Was: How To Implement Ligature For Indian Languages In Pdf Documents?] Thanks for checking. I just ran the same data with Arial Unicode MS (see attached). There appears to be some issues on matra positioning. I'll look into this.

This is very encouraging, especially because the words in the document are quite complex. I know that many users of my application use Arial Unicode MS on Windows and so that would be a good font family to test. I'm thrilled to see it take shape! I'll be happy to review other documents you generate and once the code is stable, would be happy to test it out.

Could you take a quick look to verify. I used an excerpt from [1] as a sample. I currently have only the Shruti (regular and bold) fonts from Windows 7 to test against. Do you have other Gujarati OpenType (1.5 or later) fonts you would like me to verify?
