------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 19 09:51:06 +0000 2008 ------- @fme: I made some corrections to your patch modifications. @fme/hdu: I think it will be necessary to clearly define the scope of this issue. Just after doing this, it will be possible to answer your questions, how much further work is needed. The patches in their current state considerably improve the kashida justifications on Windows. But here is a list of further things we should think about: 1. General cleanup of vcl patches (as pointed out by hdu) 2. Support for other platforms. 3. Support for fonts with glyph ligatures (as mentioned in my comment from May 28) 4. Fix PDF export (Windows) Additional comments for 1: I will do that... for 2: Basically, the other platforms need to provide a value for the minimal kashida width. Most fonts I checked on windows use a value of 3/5th of the width of the tatweel glyph. So maybe this could be used also on the other platforms. But as hdu pointed out on April 8: > I'm sure that GenericSalLayout::KashidaJustify() could benefit from more > debugging. I'd delay this task though until we are happy with the > justification result on one platform (USP?) and then port it to the > other platforms. So there actually might be a lot more work left for the other platforms. But please take into account that I probably won't be able to help much for this one. for 3: This is my most urgent question: Extend the current patches to support fonts, where certain character combinations are replaced by a single glyph? Actually the new kashida dropping mechanism could be used for that, too. In CalcNewBlock(), just before the checking of the minimal kashida width, we would have to ask vcl, if each of our kashida positions fall on two separate glyphs or if they are replaced by one glyph. In the latter case, we need to drop the kashida position. for 4: PDF export on Windows needs manual insertion of tatweel glyphs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
