Hi, Is there anybody who has been working on font related stuff on mobile devices? I am interested in getting Open Type Font (OTF) support on symbian, windows mobile devices and most likely on Android in future as well. As far as I know, Open Type Fonts (Arabic, Urdu etc.) are not supported on Symbian and Windows Mobile devices. FreeType does not support GSUB and GPOS.
I am thinking about porting an existing open source OTF solution to mobile devices. A few possibilities that come in my mind are mentioned below and suggestions from members of this list are solicited. -Is there any good port of FreeType for Symbian and Windows Mobile available in open source? If it is there, I can try to further extend it to add required support for OTF. -If somebody has experience of working with Pango and consider it good for porting to mobile devices, this can be another option to explore. -Google Adroid is using FreeType, however, I don't know if they have added any support for OTF. One way could be to take FreeType from Android (assuming it would have been optimized for constrained mobile devices) and add support for OTF. I would highly appreciate suggestions and guidelines from this list on above matters.
