[Indlinux-group] Some help on indic font rendering!

[Naveen K. <na...@gm...>]

Hi,
     Is there a procedure some where which tells me the how to go about
doing rendering for the Devanagrai Script using FreeType library. I am
facing a problem rendering devanagari in 3D environment in OpenGL. Again
there are some libraries like FTGL and GLTT but as of now I do not know if
these libraries can read tables specified in OTFcorrectly. Till now I did
find anything. I am also not aware how to use FreeType API's to render Indic
Scripts. Earlier I was using Pango to render things for me, just give it a
handle of XftDraw and life is easy for you.

It would have been good if there was a procedure as such how to do it using
FreeType2 library. Beacuse there are environments where abstraction provided
by libraries like pango would not be of much use, and you need an "open
procedure". Please help me.
