libLASi is a library written by Larry Siden that provides a C++
|
|
stream output interface for creating Postscript documents that can
|
|
contain characters from any of the scripts and symbol blocks
|
|
supported in Unicode and by Owen Taylor's Pango layout engine.
|
|
The library accomodates right-to-left scripts such as Arabic
|
|
and Hebrew as easily as left-to-right scripts. 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.
