Re: Status of support for Romanian




Here's a short "appendix". I did a quick test in Open Office since it doesn't use pango but ICU (as far as I know). It's less impressive than Pango:

* No support for GSUB/latn/ROM/locl (or ccmp). I guess it needs a special
  CTL (Complex text layout) module for Romanian, but I don't think there
  is any.

* Fonts steal glyphs from similar fonts, but sometimes luck out and seem
  to choose inappropriately (sans replaces serif). Here is a little demo:
  http://www.cs.umd.edu/~gaburici/oo-ro-font-test.tgz. I cannot find a way
  to turn off fallback substitution either.

I guess this stuff is mostly Sun's problem, but if you have any comments...

Thanks,
Vasile
