You can do it manually in your own programs... or you can take a look at Pango and perhaps modify one of the Indic shapers: http://www.pango.org/ This homepage is not updated anymore since Pango is no longer a blue-sky research project but a standard component of GTK+. http://www.gtk.org/ OpenType probably has a way of handling it - but that would only work for programs that use OpenType... That would be Pango again ;) http://www.microsoft.com/typography/tt/tt.htm http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/main.html http://www.agfamonotype.com/software/opentype.asp http://www.freetype.org/opentype/ http://www.freetype.org/opentype/ -Peter _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
