------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 28 11:30:25 +0000 2008 ------- Another comment: From my POV the harfbuzz project will be the "libtextlayout" of the FOSS world. On the other hand VCL's text layout main focus is to do the delicate balancing act between - not needing to rewrite all OOo application layer code from ground up - trying to give them support for the modern text layout So for writing new applications using OOo's wrapper layer around existing layout engines is not a good idea. But OOo will still be needed in the future. It could become much thinner though if the FOSS layout engines committed themselves to attack the really fascinating topic of full blown text justification and advanced typographic styles for OpenType (and eventually Graphite) fonts. Especially if the layout results were compatible with their counterparts from other platforms. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
