The question really is, "does Pango support complex scripting" and the answer is yes. :) osgPango is just a Texture "caching" layer for speed and flexibility in OpenGL. If you can give me some text to throw at the osgpangoviewer app, I'd be happy to run it and show a screenshot. (Although, osgPango does add things on top of Pango such as custom font rendering and effects; it also "loses" some features though, such as the nice Pango markup language.) > Glenn Waldron : Pelican Mapping : http://pelicanmapping.com : +1.703.652.4791 > > > On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 8:55 AM, John Vidar Larring > <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jeremy, Kurt, and David, > > I care too;) In our application we render text as polygon > meshes and outlines using FTGL > (http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/henryj/code/).
