Medic needed for platform overview Pango screenshot



The Pango screenshot in:

  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/guides/platform-overview/

Needs some serious help:

 - The samples in Arabic scripts are rendered misconnected
 - The samples in Thai are rendered with accents improperly
   placed
 - The Japanese sample is an ugly blot
 - The Chinese sample is rendered in a mix of fonts with
   one character showing as a hex box
 - The Greek and Hebrew samples are rendered with bitmap
   fonts

The basic problem seems to be that it was done on a system
with few international fonts, so glyphs were pulled from
misc-fixed or similar and all the shaping features of Pango
didn't work.

Does anybody with a decent set of fonts installed want to
take a stab at producing a version that is an advertisement
for Pango rather than an embarrassment?

Some searching around on google, will probably turn up
the original text file ... (though a better screenshot
of Pango doesn't have to use that text file of course...)
Or do you have it around, Shaun?

Thanks,
					Owen
