Indic and Indic-derived + Complex Text Layout (CTL) scripts, such as Devanagari, Thai, Lao, and + Tibetan are supported to the extent provided by Pango and by the + OpenType fonts installed on your system. All of this is provided + without need for any special configuration or layout calculation on + the programmer's part. + libLASi was designed for projects which require the ability to + produce Postscript independent of any one application framework. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
