Hi, I tried to write Tamil labels to an image using ImageMagick and found it to do it incorrectly. Using Tamil UTF-8 fonts will result in wrong character order. This seems to be a result of ImageMagick not using any shaping engine that would take care of character order and ligatures (like in GTK+ based application pango often does). As the absence of shaping makes it impossible to write certain labels with certain fonts, I consider this not only a missing feature but a bug.
Is there any chance ImageMagick could at least optionally link against some shaping engine in future versions? Cheers, Christian _______________________________________________ Magick-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-bugs
