Your problem is not new and has been worked on for many years by a number of people and today we have a few satisfactory solutions. You crossposted to a few lists I subscribed to. Although I've already answered to you on gtk-i18n list, here I'm gonna give you some URLs: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/specs/default.htm http://www.pango.org (and the source code of Pango available at http://cvs.gnome.org. Take a look at files in pango/modules/indic and pango/modules/thai. You can also take a look at the ICU source code) http://graphite.sil.org http://developer.apple.com/fonts/ Jungshik _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
