Description-en: Compiler of smart (graphite) fonts
SILGraphite is a system that can be used to create and use "smart
fonts" capable of displaying writing systems with various complex
behaviors, such as: contextual shaping, ligatures, reordering, split
glyphs, bidirectionality, stacking diacritics and complex positioning.
.
This library was designed and developed by the NRSI (Non-Roman Script
Initiative) within SIL International (www.sil.org) to act as a
complement to other smart font rendering technologies with limited
practical local extensibility. Its purpose is to help meet the needs of
a very large number of "minority language" communities for local
extensibility of complex script behaviors.
.
The behavior of the SILGraphite rendering engine for a given writing
system is specified through extra tables added to a TrueType font. These
tables are generated by compiling a GDL (Graphite Description Language)
source file into a font using grcompiler.
.
This package contains the graphite compiler.
