<p dir="ltr">Hi JLuc, <br>
Let him try, you will not lose anything. If he succeed will be great otherwise the situation is now no better off.<br>
If you have a way to encourage Andreas to continue work on Scribus CTL, things will move quickly. </p>

Mr Gluc I told you in IRC that I am working with group to sdd support for CTL in scribus and I was looking in bugs only<br>
to understand the nature of scribus code. I will come back for bugs when I have free time but now I have time line I<br>
plain it for finishing this project. Please if you have thoughts or any thing will help share it bur don't question my<br>
abilities or capabilities to solve an issue.<br>

<br>
I have shared thoughts : follow the links and read the comments.<br>
<br>
You have written that you would do things.<br>
<br>
Walk your talk and thou shall be trusted.<br>
<br>
CTL is not a game but a big a project<br>
that will require lot of smart and dedicated work.<br>
IMO, proposed fixes are less than 0.1% of the expected work for CTL.<br>

As you know Mr VOX has start project to make scribus support complex text layout. Therefore I am willing to work<br>
in his<br>
plan that he posted in githup in the following link:<br>
andreas-vox/ScribusCTL/issues/3 <<a href="https://github.com/andreas-vox/ScribusCTL/issues/3" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/andreas-vox/ScribusCTL/issues/3</a>><br>
<br>
<br>
This is big work, not to be entered without experience.<br>
<br>
As for now, have you coded some lines for scribus ?<br>
<br>
You have provided a patch for <a href="http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11926" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11926</a><br>
if i understand well, Kunda tested it and found it ok.<br>
Great !<br>
Even greater when one of the devs looks at it and merges patch into core...<br>
<br>
I see you have also worked on <a href="http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11071" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11071</a><br>
and 10 days ago you said you would come back with more answers<br>
What is your conclusion ?<br>
<br>
You proposed a patch for <a href="http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=6230" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=6230</a><br>
but it was not finished and required care.<br>
3 weeks ago, you said you would propose a better patch<br>
for <a href="http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=6230" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=6230</a><br>
Can you please provide it ?<br>
<br>
Maybe some of these 2 issues require discussing<br>
and bigger CTL project will for sure also require even biger discussions.<br>
<br>
IMI, it's not safe for you to begin work on CTL,<br>
even if your ideas might look nice,<br>
as long as you have not sorted out these easyhacks,<br>
because foss code is not only ideas,<br>
but also code and discussion, amongst others.<br>
<br>

<br>
To complete the project, the first stage was to separate textlayout from storytext. So I started to separate all<br>
functions that related to glyphs.<br>
<br>
GlyphLayout* getGlyphs(int pos);<br>
const GlyphLayout* getGlyphs(int pos) const;<br>
LayoutFlags flags(int pos) const;<br>
bool hasFlag(int pos, LayoutFlags flag) const;<br>
void setFlag(int pos, LayoutFlags flag);<br>
void clearFlag(int pos, LayoutFlags flag);<br>
<br>
These functions were in storyText but I am moving<br>
If any one have thought about the process I want a feedback. For example if there are any other function that<br>
related to<br>
layout and I didn’t mention it<br>
<br>
<br>
