For example: AFAIK, there no Indic specific support yet, Hans will probably need more information about Indic shaping, some test files, the expected output etc. Also, AFAIK, Indic support in OpenType is a bit messy, as there are two specification by MS, one deprecating the other, and there are fonts in the wild that implement this or that, there isn't any free implementation of the new specification, BTW. Digging MS typography site for more information would be a good start, I guess. -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
