[ft] Unicode normalization

[Andre.Grabinski]

Hi,

is freetype capable of dealing with the unicode normalization forms? I've tried to render these two examples glyph by glyph in order to get the desired result:

 

Syntax: desired_result = first_glyph_rendered + second_glyph_rendered + ...

 

1.

    ä        =        a        +

0x00E4    =    0x0061 + 0x0308

 

2.

    Þ        =        A        +            +    

0x01DE    =    0x0041 + 0x0308 + 0x0304

 

The first one worked just fine. But in the second one both combining characters (308+304) had been placed at the same position instead of on top of each other. So is there actually a reliable way to render normalized unicode characters composed of more then one combining character with freetype?

 

Thanks!
