I was thinking of following case: * my WindowsXP has old usp10.dll which does not support a few Indic scripts like Khmer, Myanmar, etc. Or, my OpenType fonts are incompatible with Uniscribe. However, fontconfig-based text layout system works well. * most of scripts are supported well by old usp10.dll and fonts bundled to WindowsXP. * as a result, I want to render most scripts by Unicode (inc. Arabic, Hebrew, etc), but I want to render a few exceptional scripts by fontconfig-based renderer in Pango. Is it possible to configure the text layout engine for each script, when Uniscribe is used by default?
