three of the forks: a "simple" side effect by the very developer who's
responsible for the rendering part, he prefers subclassing of existing
Smalltalk libs.
BTW: Cuis has no WideString but will probably be the fastest of the three.
goals: render _every_ glyph that is in _any_ modern (Unicode) platform
font; make fonts offline and online usable, especially on small devices if
needed, on demand (by end user).
working on: three parts 1) fonts/glyphs without new plugins/VM support; 2)
glyphs "char" map visualization (for end user support); 3) glyph
composition (for complicated scripts which need more than one glyph per
"character" location).
Have an application in mind which we can add for doing tests?
