Thanks for the link. I looked at fribidi and found it interesting. Their standalone is doing the same as we are with the python scripts (they call it log2vis - to convert from logic to visual strings).
Now, if we use this lib, do we still need harfbuzz? It seemed to me that truetype2 can handle most of the layout, no? -- Dalai 2011/10/25 Majid AL-Dharrab <ma...@aldharrab.com>: > I guess you can't go wrong with harfbuzz-ng on freetype2.
