Lots of small improvements in the pangocairo backend. I have blogged about some already. In the pipeline for the next couple of weeks is: - Fix backspacing problem for non-Latin languages - Fix vertical text shaping to use vertical variants of punctuation, etc. - Add various small/medium API filed in bugzilla - A new shaping engine for minority language N'Ko. Pango will be the first computer system ever to render N'Ko, Yay! And a bit longer since it need cairo ground work: - Producing perfectly text-extractable PDFs using pangocairo. > - What are your plans for GNOME 2.22 (next year)? - Catching up with recent HarfBuzz efforts, that is, merging shapers with Qt. > - Do you have plans for a future release? Not sure what this means. > - Do you have any goals from 2.18 that were not achieved? Why? Not really. Vertical support was the main feature worked for 2.18, but we also got a lot of other requested API in. > - Is there something that is really missing in our infrastructure or > platform that would help you? Not really. Pango mostly depends on glib and cairo only, and we constantly add needed features to those and use in pango. > - Do you have plans to work on other modules not maintained by you? > What are they? Depends on the moment. > - Do you have any GNOME-wide goals suggestions for the next releases? I suggest focusing on Project Ridley, that is, encouraging people to work on Ridley so we get a better, richer Gtk+ sooner.
