Hi Saurabh, I really can't recommend one or the other objectively. My recommendation would be to go for harfbuzz-ng, but you have to consider your timeframe and requirements and make your own decision.
The new version is not complete yet, but it's improving fast. I don't want to throw another date out there, but I'm actively working on it, and we are planning a Text Layout Summit in August to finish Pango and Qt ports to it. behdad On 07/06/11 04:58, [email protected] wrote: > Hi All, > > > > We have been following the development of New Harfbuzz and are very interested > in its Indic Font Shaping work. > > Presently, we are involved in porting the old Harfbuzz over to Symbian and > decommission the existing ICU shaper.
