Complex Text Layout

As complex text layout is known in computer programs displaying writing systems that do not follow the left- to-right arrangement of the western languages ​​.

There are several types of complex writing systems:

  • Right-to- left text ( such as Arabic or Hebrew )
  • Bidirectional text (often to-left fonts laws, otherwise living in in any font )
  • Vertical font (eg Mongolian script, classic Chinese )
  • Diacritical marks by one letter (eg Indian writing circle)
  • Context-sensitive presentation (especially Arabic, but also common in other writing systems )
  • The East Asian fonts Chinese, Japanese and Korean - regardless of writing direction, but with special text width (corresponding font style and Dickte other writings ) - are separately summarized as CJD.

Layout tables are mostly defined in the scriptures with OpenType or a comparable technology, and then evaluated by the application and processed.
