[Scribus] OpenType support when?

[Anousak Souphavanh]

Hi Luis,

First of all, I am Anousak, a Lao Open Source developer for
OpenOffice, Mozilla's browser and email products, KDE and GNOME,
UBuntu and others. Now, together with a friend Brian Wilson in Mission
Colleage Thailand would like to pursue Scribus so that our colleauges
and friends in Laos can benefit from this unique product. However,
Scribus doesn't support Lao in rendering the UNICODE font that we have
namely Phetsarath OT (attached here). This is font was created with
OpenType specification and it is 100% UNICODE. I understood that this
type of support was lacked for Asian languages, Lao is included. This
work, as far as I am concerned, is being discussed and talked among
the developers in the forum.

My machine is Ubuntu 7.04:

1) Scribus latest version, not work for Lao font and input via xkb or
via Ubuntu's input method
3) Lao font installed and work for other applications, only Scribus
that won't work.
4) Open Office works
5) Lao xkeyboard works


By the way, someone mentioned that the next version will include
OpenType support.

Any suggestions?


Thanks,
Anousak
