Re: How To Implement Ligature For Indian Languages In Pdf Documents?
Support for Indian scripts is being developed. See the overview at http://people.apache.org/~spepping/. You could help by testing this work. At this moment support for Indian scripts is limited to devanagari. Gujarati is in the planning.

Where's the class?
I downloaded fop as the latest trunk snapshot and it says you took away a class? What happened to org.apache.fop.render.pdf.PDFRenderer?
Re: Where's the class?
Hi Eric, The renderers of old were removed quite a while ago in commit#989178.

Re: Where's the class?
Sorry Eric, I meant to say, this is a developer question, could you post questions concerning the code on fop-dev in future.

Re: How To Implement Ligature For Indian Languages In Pdf Documents?
My immediate need is generating PDF with Gujarati text and have a reasonably large dataset in Gujarati to test such a functionality. I would be more than happy to participate in the testing process when that support is ready. I'm assuming that you have Gujarati experts participate in the planning and development process when that starts. Here also, if you need any help, let me know.

Test of complex scripts
I tested the new version of the complex scripts functionality on one test file with a text written in devanagari script. I used the fonts Aparajita v.5.91, Kokila v.5.91, Mangal v.5.90, Utsaah v.5.91. I compared it with the expected outcome and the fit was perfect. Note that I do not have the versions of these fonts in Windows 7, which are v.1.00. Even so, I got good results. I do not quite remember where I got the test file from. I believed it came from the skynav trac site, together with the expected outcome, but I cannot find it there. I am happy with this good result. I leave more extensive testing to users who use devanagari natively.

Re: How To Implement Ligature For Indian Languages In Pdf Documents?
Dilip, Thanks for your offer of test data. What I need is a UTF-8 encoded text file containing Gujarati word forms, one form on each line. If that data is available in an unencumbered form on the Web, then let me know a link for downloading. Otherwise, I would need you to post it as an attachment to the current complex script bug [1], and also will need you to complete and send an Individual Contributors License Agreement (ICLA) [2] to the ASF. Once I have this data, I will be in a better position to add the small amount of code needed to support the Gujarati script, with which I am already familiar [I authored the Unicode Standard's detailed treatment of Indic scripts.] Regards, Glenn [1] http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49687 [2] http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 11:15 PM, dilipvshah dilipvs...@hotmail.com wrote: My immediate need is generating PDF with Gujarati text and have a reasonably large dataset in Gujarati to test such a functionality.

Re: How To Implement Ligature For Indian Languages In Pdf Documents?
Hi Glenn, I've attached a UTF-8 encoded file to link [1]. Let me know if it's helpful or you expect it in some other form. I'll fill up form [2] and complete that part.
