Palash Ray commented on PDFBOX-4189:
------------------------------------
Thanks a lot guys, for the detailed comments. It seems that there is some more
work for me to ensure that this patch fits in into the broader scheme of
things. I am ready to work with you to make this happen. I think PdfBox is a
great piece of software, and I am committed to make it more feature rich. This
particular feature is imporant to support any Indian or South East Asian
Language. So, in my perspective, I would like to make it happen.
John, thanks specially for taking the time out to explain the architecture. Let
me do a bit of refactoring, and incorporate your suggestions. I will let you
know how that goes. I plan to handle subsetting.
Thanks,
Palash.

> Implemented proper rendering of Indian languages, which need extensive Glyph
> substitution. The GSUB table has been read and used effectively to replace
> some compound words with their respective Glyphs. All tests are passing. I
> have tested this for the Bengali font. Please review these changes and let me
> know if it makes sense to incorporate these.
