* Package name : libgraphite2-2.0.0 Version : 0.9.3 Upstream Author : SIL International * URL : http://sf.net/projects/silgraphite * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : a "smart font" rendering engine -- library Graphite is a system that can be used to create and use "smart fonts" capable of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors, such as: contextual shaping, ligatures, reordering, split glyphs, bidirectionality, stacking diacritics and complex positioning. . This library was designed and developed by the NRSI (Non-Roman Script Initiative) within SIL International (www.sil.org) to act as a complement to other smart font rendering technologies with limited practical local extensability. Its purpose is to help meet the needs of a very large number of "minority language" communities for local extensibility of complex script behaviors. . The behavior of the rendering engine for a given writing system is specified through extra tables added to a TrueType font. These tables are generated by compiling a GDL (Graphite Description Language) source file into a font using grcompiler. . This package contains the shared library. This seems to be the successor of silgraphite2.0(sic!) which is libgraphite3 and LibreOffice is going to switch to graphite2. Daniel, would you want to (co-)maintain it? I have a package (on upstreams Debian packaging fixed up) here already :-) Grüße/Regards, Rene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
