Hi,
I've patched and rebuilt the poppler-qt4 binding so far, and it's ok.
Now, I'm not sure whether to design a new search function by considering
both horizontal and vertical modes at the same time by wMode() directly or just
do the regular horizontal search first and vertical one afterwards benefits.
The former seems a bit of complicated but more useful. :-(
In fact, I wrote a vertical search function by reconstructing the TEXTBOX
list in every page by the top-to-bottom and right-to-left order. So, it seems
the latter would reduce the coding work.
I'll finish the evaluation ASAP. Thx.
Cobra

Subject:Re: [poppler] Vertical or horizontal writing?
Hi,
Attached is a draft patch to do:
1) extend poppler's FontInfo object to hold writing mode info.
2) extend poppler-qt4's FontInfo object to provide an API to
return writing mode info copied from poppler's FontInfo.
3) extend qt4/tests/poppler-fonts to show writing mode info.
Also I attached a sample PDF including vertical/horizontal
Japanese text, generated by MS Word + Adobe Acrobat.
poppler-fonts detects the writing mode aslike:
$ ./qt4/tests/poppler-fonts vert-horiz-ipa-std.pdf
name type emb sub font file wmode
------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --------- -----
LDGIFP+IPAMincho CID TrueType yes yes Vert
LDGIFP+IPAMincho CID TrueType yes yes Hori
I think the diff for poppler-fonts.cpp shows how to use the
extended API. Cobra, please check if the extended API can help
your application.
The extention for poppler-glib is work in progress.
Regards,
mpsuzuki
