Please note that this is a very difficult thing to do with free software fonts and layout systems unless you heavily stabilize things. If you want to achieve consistent layout, you need to stabilize your layout engine, your software, and your fonts. For kerning, say, this means that you won't be able to add new kerning information to the font (or improve existing pairs), you won't be able to fix page layout bugs in OO.o, and you can't even fix some kerning bugs in Pango. The only free software that has done this successfully is TeX (for the same goal of achieving same layout everywhere). And that was really achieved because: a) All the three components, page layout, text rendering (really line layout), and the fonts, were maintained by Don Knuth and he froze them after he personally put years of effort into them; and b) The LaTeX project remains bug-compatible with previous versions of itself, and is a very slow project anyway (the last stable release was in 2004 IIRC, and that was after a long time). roozbeh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
