Hello everyone; I've noticed a bit more traffic on these lists lately with behdad having turned over maintainership, and so I figured I'd pose my question here as well. The bottom line, really, is that I'm looking for some way (any way!) to get vertical text support on Windows using Pango. When using Linux our application behaves perfectly when requesting a vertical layout with Pango. On Windows, however, Pango doesn't use the Fontconfig backend (and I've not been able to figure out how to encourage/force it to). I've spent some time trying to hack Pango itself to no avail; I just don't have enough understanding to even know where to begin. Therefore, I'd like to try configuring Pango to use the Fontconfig/FT2 backends on Windows instead. I'm not even sure if I'm using the right terminology here, so please bear with me. :) My question is: if I go down this path, is this likely (or even possible) to solve my issue with needing vertical text in Windows? I understand Pango's problems aren't related to Fontconfig, but I'm hoping the domains might be similar enough for other people to comment. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
