RE: [svg-developers] Ligature Support for Arabic in SVG
Hi, Jeff- This may be a dumb question, but are you sure that the font you are using *has* ligatures? Is it a system font, or an SVG Font? Ligatures are not automagic, the font itself must have glyphs for the ligatures.

hey mate...it is not done through code it is done through certain procedures: 1- The text wrote in arabic must be wrote under the arabic chracter set coding nametag. 2-the operating system used in authoring should at least support arabic like xp arabic enabled or mandriva installed with arabic support etc... 3- the typeface too is an issue some arabic fonts wont work .. finally ofcourse a browser with arabic encoding... hope i helped..in one way or the other...good luck kojo.. --- jdperkins1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone cracked the code on how to properly do > the glyph > substitution for arabic characters that should be > joined with > ligatures in SVG ? > > A code sample would be awesome if anyone has figured > out how to do this > > thanx > JP > > > > __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [svg-developers] Ligature Support for Arabic in SVG
Hi Chris, I got the same problem as well. The contextual shaping and ligature didn't happen. I see it displays character by character. Is there some kind of SVG attribute that I need to set in order to see the characters "link" together? I have tried displaying the same word under HTML and it shows nicely.

I am told that Batik's handling of Arabic is excellent ( http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/), so you might try it and see if the text displays properly. > I have tried displaying the same word under HTML and it shows nicely. - To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" Yahoo!

Re: [svg-developers] Ligature Support for Arabic in SVG
Yes, it worked.. so the problem is Adobe SVG Viewer. Too bad that Batik it's not a plugin for IE browser ... thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Ligature-Support-for-Arabic-in-SVG-t687287.html#a3112355 Sent from the Gnome - librsvg - Dev forum at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" Yahoo!
