Hi,
I have been looking at DisplayText, Paragraph, TextStyle, Text classes but haven't so far been able to locate the method that does the real display, i.e. take the bitmap from the font for a character, put it somewhere, take the next put it somewhere.
Could you tell me if I am not looking at the right places or I have missed some method. If you remember having seen tutorial or book chapter that gives the big picture, that would also be helpful.
I am trying to show Telugu ( a left to write script, that requires script shaping )text in Squeak using the Operating System support with FFI-Examples-Win32's classes.
I would be grateful for some pointers and/or suggestions.
Thank You, Himanshu.
Hi -
You are not looking at the right places by far. Depending on where you want to hook in you should be looking at either the Canvas string/text display methods (high-level entry points) or the AbstractFont/BitBlt displayString: methods (low-level entry points).
Cheers, - Andreas
