"The neutrality of this post is disputed" and I agree. It has a clear marketing style. The language is tailored espacially for linux people and that makes me very suspicious. From a cursory glance I can't exactly make out what these guys want to do. "Acquiring patents" sounds strange to me plus the

+1 on the black arrow icons, white is unnecessarily strong since the important part is the *text*, having white on both the text and the arrows confuses the eye in which direction to focus -1 on the general icons being toned down.. agree with matt on this one Daniel Salazar 3Developer.com On

Re: [Bf-committers] Arabic support in text editing

Shaping itself is already "kind-of" handled by freetype2. It may look wrong in some corner cases (e.g. those words that take off the ground). But overall the result of getting the text in their presentation form was working ok (not that I can tell good arabic from bad arabic, but Yousef himself see

Re: [Bf-committers] Arabic support in text editing

I'm not sure if freetype2 alone can render Arabic/Bidi text perfectly. But I'm sure that fribdi is simply inadequate. As I said earlier, Arabic text is not just about converting letters to their presentation form. That approach will render a lot of fonts unusable. Let alone all the languages that u

Hi, Using the red channel only would not be compatible with existing files, so I'd prefer not to do that. Uploading a single channel image seems like the best solution, this could be done by adding a second GPUTexture pointer to the Image struct, and in the GPU_texture_from_blender call in GPU_pas
