As avox said once when I asked the very same question: "Yes, help to release 1.3.5" :) > Is it possible to > use ICU as the rendering engine,as ICU is Indic text supported. Scribus will primarily use a third party library. There are 3 possibilities I?m aware of: 1/ Harfbuzz - the community choice, not publicly released yet. 2/ ICU - supported by a big company, working. 3/ M17N - outsider in this area, but I like their DB based system. TBH, as I already did it for fontmatrix, I would be tempted to offer choice to the user and support both (at least ICU & Harfbuzz). What?s pretty sure is that OpenType support will be achieved through Harbuzz OT processor module, even if ICU or other is used for shaping. -- Pierre Marchand
