Hi mpsuzuki, Thanks for your reply. Sorry for the unclear question. I don't know much about the font. I even don't know the difference between opentype and truetype. As i know freetype1 support opentype layout( glyph substitution, positioning (kerning)), but freetype2 doesn't. My question is: If i use truetype font, How I handle the indic scripts(shaping and combining)? I have read pango before, After layout the complex text, pango then shape them by using opentype layout table（GUSB and GPOS). Is that right? Whether I can do it like pango?
