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
