*Description*
-------------
Graphite fonts are truetype fonts with extra tables which contain
information for complex rendering such as context specific reordering,
shaping and positioning. Unlike OpenType, the rendering engine does
not need any prior knowledge of the script, the rendering rules are
all contained in the font itself. This makes it ideal for scripts and
languages which are not directly supported in Uniscribe or ICU.
Graphite also supports font features which allow variations in
rendering to be selected according to linguistic or personal preference.
The graphite01 CWS adds support for Graphite Fonts to be correctly
displayed in OpenOffice on both Windows and Linux. If a font contains
graphite tables, these will automatically be used in preference to any
OpenType tables. It also adds some basic support for Graphite font
features by appending the feature to the fontname.
