Hello Jungshik Shin,

Thank a lot for your information. That mean I should keep away Opentype Font
for a while. Anyway I have to redo in Graphite. I heard MS working on
Myanmar script but not that much activity. I haven't hard any progress for
one year. I don't see anybody who do Myanmar script in Mac AAT either. I
heard there is some one working on Pango Myanmar module but still I don't
find it who is working. If somebody know mailing list or something Please
inform me.

I see Myanmar module in Pango, who that thing work and how much it capable?

Sorry I mean Slot repositioning, not keening. Current encoding rule need one
or two character to move / jump a head of some character at rendering. That
give big problem at Opentype Font because I don't see any feature like that.
So I think Uniscribe have to do. Graphite doesn't problem with that, how
about Pango will do thing like this, also at in cursor hitting and editing
at runtime?
