[Freetype] GPOS anybody?

[Dave Williss]

Has anybody ever done anything with GPOS tables?

I see that FreeType 1.3 has functions to read the table but nothing to actually

process a string.  I assume an implementation would fill in an array of point

structures with offsets of some kind.  If nobody's done it, I may have to write

one and submit it. 

 

I also see that GSUB support has been improved.   I actually wrote the old

function to apply a GSUB table that was in FreeType 1.1. (or maybe 1.2?)

in order to support Arabic.  Switching to 1.3 simplified my code quite a bit.

Now I'm working on the Indic languages that use the devanagari script and

some of their fonts expect you to use a GPOS table to move marks around.
