The Sun Microsystems ST team would like to invite open-source developers to participate in the public review of the STSF API. The API specification can be found on the project web page at http://stsf.sourceforge.net/ Discussion and comments on the API should be sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, which is open to the public and publically archived.
For those not familiar with the ST project, the Standard Type Services Framework is a display and platform-independent text architecture. It handles not just font rendering, but text layout and font management as well. ST incorporates typographically sophisticated features and ideas from the best regarded existing APIs, including Apple Type Services for Unicode Imaging (ATSUI) and Java2D TextLayouts. On top of ST, we have layered a new extension to the X protocol, called XST, which incorporates the ST functionality. The ST API will also be exposed to applications independent of the X environment so that it can be used for Java servlets and applets and text rendering to printers, image files, and other displays.
