Seeing the complexity of Harfbuzz.old's indic shaper, I figured as much, but thanks for the verification. As I said, I can't read any of those, and my tests "looked like pango" so I hoped everything was fine. So what's next? How can I further advance the creation of a proper Indic shaper? What do you guys do in Firefox? Thanks, Tom. _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
