If you want a separate font, however, please ask the Open Font Library guys how to set up your own project http://openfontlibrary.org/ 3. get special processing implemented in text layout libraries if needed. That mostly means Pango http://www.pango.org/ which will morph into Harfbuzz http://www.pango.org/ and hopefully serve as base to next-generation ICU & QT layouters. In the short term ICU support is required for OO.o but be aware almost no other FLOSS software uses ICU so ICU is not sufficient for comprehensive support. 4. add an input method to either xkeyboard-config http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig or SCIM http://www.scim-im.org/ depending of the complexity of your input needs If you have more special requirements participating in next year's Text Summit http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/TextLayout will help. The release archive you're pointing to, with it's Office macro is totally insufficient and inapropriate and most everyone will ignore it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
