I only had a quick look last week, but will look at it more carefully soon. A quick comment: it needs a ChangeLog ;-) > Should I create a bug in the tracker to help track the work on complex > script support? Yes, that would be useful - which brings me to a "long term" comment: libgdiplus can't switch to pango output until it becomes a superset of the features that it currently (custom text renderer) support - i.e. complex script support is awesome but not enough as many people depends on other features not yet available in the pango renderer. > Thanks, > Jonathan Anderson > > Jonathan Anderson wrote: > > I mentioned earlier that I was doing work to get pango support working > > properly in libgdiplus.
