FYI, m17n-lib's approach is to have a layouting engine for each script. In the case of m17n-lib, having many layouting engines has no problem. Each engine is just 100 to 300 lines of text file containing layouting rules. We adopted this approach because we found that a slight difference of layouting rules results in rather complicated code when they are mixed in a signle engine. --- Kenichi Handa [email protected] _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
