Spec URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8648526/graphite2.spec SRPM URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8648526/graphite2.spec Description: LibreOffice has stopped using graphite in favour of graphite2. This will enable LibreOffice to once again be built with support for complex scripts and ligatures.
Graphite2 is a project within SIL’s Non-Roman Script Initiative and Language Software Development groups to provide rendering capabilities for complex non-Roman writing systems. Graphite can be used to create “smart fonts” capable of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors. With respect to the Text Encoding Model, Graphite handles the "Rendering" aspect of writing system implementation.
