If I have two unicode based fonts for the same character range, how does the app rendering component e.g. pango, etc. decide which font to use?
I read in one of the docs that the X font-server, which is part of most distrib causes problems in displaying Indic scripts. The doc suggested that I use X own ability to read truetype files. But the doc wasn't very helpful regarding the actual reason behind the problem. What is it? Mozilla uses Gtk as the base toolkit if I am not wrong. Does it use the pango rendering component too? An OT question, on the Win32 platform, does pango still use its own font selection and rendering logic? Or does it pass along the work to the OS own capability to do the same? - Sandip -- -------------------------------------------------------- Sandip Bhattacharya sandipb <@> bigfoot.com http://www.sandipb.net GPG/PGP: 0x08EB637C -------------------------------------------------------- -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
