• File windows/window.c — part of check-in [76941fa153] at 2006-11-18 09:10:48 on branch trunk — Reinstate as much of the Windows font-linking behaviour as I can easily manage, by adopting a hybrid approach to Unicode text display. The old approach of simply calling ExtTextOutW provided font linking without us having to lift a finger, but didn't do the right thing when it came to bidirectional or Arabic-shaped text. Arabeyes' replacement exact_textout() supported the latter, but turned out to break the former (with no warning from the Windows API documentation, so it's not their fault). So now I've got a second wrapper layer called general_textout(), which splits the input string into substrings based on bidi character class. Any character liable to cause bidi or shaping behaviour if fed straight to ExtTextOutW is instead fed through Arabeyes' exact_textout(), but the rest is fed straight to ExtTextOutW as it used to be. The effect appears to be that font linking is restored for all characters _except_ Arabic and other bidi scripts, which means in particular that we are no longer in a state of regression over 0.57. (0.57 would have done font linking on Arabic as well, but would also have misbidied it, so we've merely exchanged one failure mode for another slightly less harmful one in that situation.)
