Re: Karl Koehler's email address and Arabic shaper..

[Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat com>]

Karl's email address is koehler@or.uni-bonn.de. (CC'ed above.)  The
Pango shaper is perhaps still code-in-progress (though it seems to do
a pretty good job already), but I suspect there is useful code-sharing
and synergy possible in this area.
