Hi all,
I'm wondering, should increasing y move upwards, or downwards? Most graphics
API I've seen (PS-based API being the only exception) has y moving downward.
I find that more intuitive in a text layout library, so we can say: "in-line
glyphs are stacked in the increasing x direction, lines are stacked in the
increasing y direction."
Does everyone agree?
If we agree, I need to change it all around the code since currently y
direction is upward, which is what the OpenType font-space is.
