Hi
Not really a objection, just a bit of clarification. I'm sorry to say,
but i didn't read all the thread about Pango/Freetype, just too much
information :).
What is decided, from what i understand, we decided to go with pango
with BIDI code, and wait with the rest. Doing this would mean that all
code is BIDI and that would mean all code will be using pango. am i correct?
What will be required by the porters? Pango for example isn't ported to
any other platform then linux if i understand correctly.
I missed anything?
