<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>I intend to use 'init' feature in a certain Hebrew font, but
it seems there is no support for this in Pango (at least not in my
standard Inkscape installation). Is it just my problem, or there is
indeed need to implement it somehow (in HarfBuzz/Pango/Inkscape/elsewhere)? Is it supported per script or globally? Some Latin cursives also feature distinctive initial letters.<br>
<br>To make it clear, 'init' is not necessary to render Hebrew properly. It is just an artistic feature of a specific cursive font.<br><br>HarfBuzz
code suggests that certain scripts (e.g. Syriac) do support it. If it
is indeed so, I would be grateful if you could briefly refer me to the
code which probes the word boundary and performs substitution.<br>
<br>Thank you,<br> -- Maxim.</div>
