Hi everyone,

I have created a draft on recommendations for Indic rendering. You can find it here: http://rbhalera.fedorapeople.org/Documents/RenderingRecommendations1.html

It addresses some of the OpenType, Unicode and fonts related issues. Many of the issues discussed here, have been the source of conflicts for few languages. Thus it was an utter need to provide a detailed analysis like this. I hope the illustrations made there provide some common guidelines. I would like to appeal open source font developers (and layout enigne developers) to start using them as a standard for creating their fonts. There would be certainly a scope for improvement in this. I would like to hear from various communities if they want some of the other left out issues to be also addressed. The draft is open for discussion and feedback. Feedbacks can be sent to rahul.bhalerao@redhat.com http://in.f949.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=rahul.bhalerao@redhat.com&YY=27941&y5beta=yes&y5beta=yes&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b or to have a common place for discussion the blog entry at http://rahulpmb.blogspot.com/2008/01/rendering-recommendations-draft.html can also be used.

Thanks, Rahul Bhalerao.
