GlyphLayout Example

[Doss Markus <Ma...@rhein-zeitung.net>]

I'm looking for an example which uses a Glyphlayout. At the moment we are
using textlayouts with java2D to implement an editor. It's seems to be that
adding kerning functionality to textlayouts is not possible, so that I found
the GlyphLayout in the batik project. Has anyone some examples using this
features especially kerning, ligatures and other typographic specials.
 
Best regards

    Well as you may have noticed the GlyphLayout interface is _very_
close to the TextLayout interface.  The only really big advantage I
could see for you is that our implementation is more available to you
for subclassing/extending than the JDK implementation.

    You might also be able to leverage the code that we use to support
SVG fonts to have better control over kerning and ligatures.
Unfortunately the only code I can point you to for using the classes
is Batik it's self.

    Good luck.
