GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 137912
Traditional Mongolian script support
Last modified: 2009-01-03 00:04:17 UTC
It would be terrific if the next version of Pango has support for the traditional Mongolian script. Traditioan Mongolian script occupies the Unicode range U+1800 - U+18A9, and is a complex script requiring character shaping. Also the script runs vertically from top-to-bottom, left-to-right.
We are kinda working on the top-to-bottom stuff in Pango, but for the shaper, someone familiar with the script has got to write a Pango module for that.
The vertical support is already there. Closing this bug until someone familiar with Mongolian actually writes a module for it.
