Unless I'm mistaken, Freetype can uses OpenType fonts, no ? And we use freetype.
OpenType supports in freetype is early and I don't think it will work through our backend automagically. Not even by cairo backend if you wish. The backend and gui needs to deal with informations in opentype tables and they (freetype) didn't support every table yet. (we didn't support it at all, AFAIK) Our current text system still didn't follow some rules due to performance problems. But it is still very good (ie. Pango is not better) and can be improved. We need more engineer on text system. Note: I didn't check things for months so I'm probably be out-of-date, hopefully not too much. -- _----_ Banlu Kemiyatorn / /\ \ Free Software Yogi | / \ | -_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_ | /----\ | QSToRAD, Qing Shan Tian Xia \/ \/ 136 Nivesana 7, Jangwattana 14 QingShan Laksi, Bangkok, Thailand 10210 _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
