Just dredging up this long dead ML conversation:
The main important lib would be the text/object layoutenige like pango.
(used in Chrome and Firefox and so on)
i am still reading if we can archive wrapping text around images easy
with this...
as its looke this needed to be implemented buy us ;/ Except that we can
find some
higlevel Lib there.
If we want to stick with permissible licences, then pango can't be used as
it is copyleft.
Here is what I think a Haiku text stack could look like:
Text rendering: Anti-Grain Geometry (as used by Haiku)
Text shaping: BShape + HarfBuzz
Text layout: BTextDocument (HD's textview + ICU:ParagraphLayout &
ICU:Transformations)

Richard.
