How To Implement Ligature For Indian Languages In Pdf Documents?
I wish to use XSL-FO technology to generate PDF documents in Indian
languages.
Here are the steps I took:
1) I downloaded fop-1.0 and tried their first example to display a name. I
tried to display name in one of the Indian languages, Gujarati.
2) I modified the fop configuration file to load Arial Unicode MS
3) The example application does produce PDF document with Gujarati fonts but
the text is displayed as a sequence of individual characters and doesn't use
ligature to display the text correctly. The font glyphs are displayed in the
ordered they are entered in Google's transliterate tool but since ligature
rules are not applied, the name is displayed incorrectly.
Does FOP have ligature rules for Indian languages? If so, how do I apply
them when generating a PDF document.
Thanks!

My application allows school students in Gujarat, India to learn their
subjects online. Browser and Flash player manage to display Gujarati on the
screen but I need a printing solution for them to be able to print the
question papers they generate. The application currently generates HTML
pages that they can print but an HTML page doesn't give the kind of control
a PDF document does, for page formatting and storage.

thanks for the data and the ICLA submission; i'll let you know when progress
is made on the Gujarati; I would hope to have it in place before the end of
the year, but it depends on certain process issues currently in play, namely
the merging of the complex scripts branch into trunk and other factors;
if you (or anyone else) supports merging the temporary complex script branch
into the development trunk, you should send email to
fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org indicating that interest; also, it would be
useful to provide information on what use you intend to make of complex
script functionality;

Hi Glenn,
I hope the data I provided helped.
What's the QA as well as release schedule for Gujarati ligature support? If
you want, I can help test your code as and when it gets develops and is
ready for alpha-testing.

Dilip,
Thanks for your offer of test data. What I need is a UTF-8 encoded text file
containing Gujarati word forms, one form on each line. If that data is
available in an unencumbered form on the Web, then let me know a link for
downloading. Otherwise, I would need you to post it as an attachment to the
current complex script bug [1], and also will need you to complete and send
an Individual Contributors License Agreement (ICLA) [2] to the ASF.
Once I have this data, I will be in a better position to add the small
amount of code needed to support the Gujarati script, with which I am
already familiar [I authored the Unicode Standard's detailed treatment of
Indic scripts.]

Glenn

My immediate need is generating PDF with Gujarati text and have a reasonably
large dataset in Gujarati to test such a functionality. I would be more than
happy to participate in the testing process when that support is ready. I'm
assuming that you have Gujarati experts participate in the planning and
development process when that starts. Here also, if you need any help, let
me know.

Support for Indian scripts is being developed. See the overview at
http://people.apache.org/~spepping/. You could help by testing this
work.
At this moment support for Indian scripts is limited to devanagari.
Gujarati is in the planning.

Hi Glenn,
I've attached a UTF-8 encoded file to link [1]. Let me know if it's helpful
or you expect it in some other form.
I'll fill up form [2] and complete that part.

Anand, the PDF looks good! What technology are you using to generate it?
Glenn, do you have any dates for the release with Gujarati font support?
