The text renderer currently we are using is written in Squeak. The theory is that everybody can modify it, but so far nobody tried to add complex script shaping handling.
Can you give some pointers so we can get an idea of what it would take to add Devanagari in this way?
I need to clean up some stuff. But see that attached picture. I saved an HTML I found on the net, read it and make up a WideString consists of these characters, and create a TextMorph.
Relying on an external library like Pango is the second best and realistic solution.
How portable would the Pango option be? Would it be included with the updated Squeakland browser plugin for example?
On Windows, Mac, and Linux, ot works. For the next version of Squeakland, it won't be there, unfortunately.
