Re: TLF - Leader dots

[hferreira]

I already done it !
Leader dots, leader dash, leader underscore and custom.

The dots are automatically updated when the text line change or even the
paragraph.
Also the feature keep active after reload.

It was not an easy one and took several days until became perfect.

Re: TLF - Leader dots

[Gabe Harbs]

Leader dots are a hard one.

Ideally, the FTE should support leader dots in TextLines. Unfortunately, that’s 
not a feature FTW supports, so the only way to draw dot leaders would be to use 
the BackgroundManager to draw them. Getting the correct location, size etc. of 
the leader dots is not a simple problem.
