Myanmar Pango Module 0.6.0 released

After an in-house development and testing over 7 months, I've decided to release Myanmar Pango Module 0.6.0 to the public. This release marks a major milestone for Prahita OpenSource Project as it is the first release by the project. mymr-pangomod package is released as only source package at the moment and includes Shaper Engine for Myanmar Script as well as Language Engine capable of very basic breaking.

The package also includes MasterpieceUniSans.ttf, a Myanmar Unicode OpenType font (more precisely, TrueType Font with OLT), to be used with the module. Please note that other existing OpenType fonts are not supported and may not render correctly. Source for the font has also been released under separate package.

Please visit the Sourceforge project website to download and hope to get bug reports and feedbacks from Myanmar Community...

Prahita OpenSource Project aims for enabling Myanmar Unicode in OpenSource Softwares. The development may include Libraries, Fonts and Other utilities. All credits go to Myanmar NLP Research Center, its members and contributors as this project will never exist without their initial efforts.
