I hope many users who need these features will test your version. I wonder if someone could volunteer to build Windows and OS X versions from your source base.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Any volunteers willing to show me how to build Scribus on OS X utilizing Mosaab's patch? In the process we could create a generic Homebrew formula that could be utilized for other patch testing in the future. <br>

What we need for the 1.5.0svn branch, though, is patches, patches, and patches. You also have to coordinate your efforts with Andreas's refactoring work, not the least because the latter could make the creation of patches a lot easier.</blockquote>

<br><div>"What I'm really interested to explore is using PoDoFo for outputting<br>typeset Arabic --- via the superb Harfbuzz OpenType shaping engine. I<br>have Harfbuzz working well and can generate shaped Arabic text. The<br>
output of Harfbuzz (and FreeType) is a set of glyphs IDs together with<br>full positioning and glyph/metric data. With Arabic, many of the glyphs<br>may not have a corresponding Unicode character value --- i.e., they are<br>
"visual forms" and not encoded in Unicode. I use OpenType fonts exclusively.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div>So, I guess my question is: Can PoDoFo take a set of glyph IDs and positions/metrics and use that to render Arabic in a PDF with a subset font? </div>
