[Indic-computing-devel] Testing OpenType support

[Arun M <ar...@fr...>]

Hi All,

   I've been working with Eric Manders of ICU project to get Malayalam
work better. Except for Devnagari, Tamil and Malayalam not much work
seems to be happening to test the code. 

In ICU same function is being used to handle 9 scripts. A fix in one
language can break others. We can address this if a team form this list
to do the testing for each indian languages. A bug free version of ICU
will help FreeSoftware localisation as most of the many projects goes to
ICU for OpenType support (OpenOffice, Mozilla, GTK).

I've some selfish interest too ;) some fixes for Malayalam hasnt gone to
1.2 branch (available in CVS HEAD) because test has to be done to see
how the changes affect other indic languages

Regards,
Arun.

PS: If any one wants to test Malayalam write to me, i've some changes
which is not yet in the pango/ICU cvs.
