Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4189: ---------------------------------------- I haven't had the time to look at the details but am following the discussion. What about - detecting the Script -> {{Character.UnicodeScript}} in {{java.lang}} - provide a language setting on top to override/specify further as a script might cover several languages which may have different needs - putting the GSUB processing behind a flag/configuration similar to Apache Fop so users can decide if they want this for performance and compatibility reasons. Maybe similar to what was done in {{PDFMergerUtility}} > Enable PDF creation with Indian languages, by reading and utilizing the GSUB > table > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-4189 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4189 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: FontBox, PDModel > Reporter: Palash Ray > Priority: Major > Attachments: Bengali-text-after.pdf, Bengali-text-before.pdf, > BengaliPdfGenerationHelloWorld.java, bengali-example.pdf, > bengali-example2.pdf, committed.patch, screenshot.png > > Original Estimate: 336h > Remaining Estimate: 336h > > Implemented proper rendering of Indian languages, which need extensive Glyph > substitution.
