Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4189:
----------------------------------------
[~paawak] There is {{o.a.p.pdmodel.interactive.form.PlainTextFormatter}} which
has a very basic implementation to support multiline text fields. With the new
features I'm looking to enhance that. We also had a discussion in the past
about a text formatter (and some requests for it) but I'm not aware that
someone is working on that. My thoughts are to try it for form fields and
annotations first - keeping it private/package private - fill the gaps and then
decide if we make it a public API for **basic** text formatting. Given that a
real layout engine is very complex to do I doubt that this is something that we
should target for the foreseeable future - but a basic implementation will also
help us to understand what we need to provide for others to potentially build
that on top of PDFBox.

> 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.
