= Overview =

OpenType is a font format that supports many advanced typographical features. For some scripts these features are required for proper layout. Other features are optional and allow to customize text to be beautifully typeset. Many fonts available today, both free and commercial, provide optional features such as alternative numeral styles, ligatures and real small caps.

= Agenda =

The internship project "Optional OpenType" features will implement it as an experimental OpenOffice.org feature, which means that
* the features are only statically enabled or disabled per text run (not dynamically which would allow to get e.g. much better justified text)
* document import/export is incomplete regarding these features
* is not expected to work on more than one platform
* layout stability is reduced

== system layer support on at least one platform ==

* e.g. on WIN using the new API calls available in newer usp10 versions ([http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=112466 i112466]) usually only available on WinVista/Win7
* announce the available optional typographic features to the application layers
** if possible in such a way that major UI rework can be avoided for now e.g. by enumerating the features as available font styles
** see [http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/typo Typography toolbar extension] for an UI idea
* support the optional features when requested for the selected font
* emulate some features for fonts that do not support them directly (e.g. subscript/superscript/denominators/small caps)

== application layer support ([http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=79878 i79878]) ==

* find, isolate and report (eventually debug and solve) problems and missing features in the application layer when very many font styles are available

== related tasks in the application layers ([http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=108684 i108684]) ==

* find, isolate and report (eventually debug and solve) problems regarding advanced typography in the application layer

= Project Status =

* the project is accepted for the summer internship
* the project has started
* the CWS [http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/tmp_otf02 tmp_otf02] has been set up
* uniscribe functions that can handle optional OpenType features have been implemented and debugging is ongoing. We currently have a small set of OpenType features enabled and testable in the cws.
* OpenType features are [[User:Milosh/Internship/Selecting_Features | selectable]] and mostly work.

Milosh: /* system layer support on WinVista/Win7 (i112466) */

= Overview =

OpenType is a font format that supports many advanced typographical features. For some scripts these features are required because of their complexity. Other features are optional and allow to create beautifully typeset text. Many fonts available today, both free and commercial, provide optional features such as alternative numeral styles, ligatures and real small caps.

= Agenda =

The internship project "Optional OpenType" features will implement it as an experimental OpenOffice.org feature, which means that
* document import/export is incomplete regarding these features
* won't be supported on all platforms
* layout stability is reduced

== system layer support on WinVista/Win7 ([http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=112466 i112466]) ==

* use the new APIs available in usp10 version >= 1.6
* announce the available features e.g. when enumerating the available font styles
* support the optional features when requested for the selected font
* emulate some features for fonts that do not support them directly (e.g. subscript/superscript/denominators/small caps)

== application layer support ([http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=79878 i79878]) ==

== related tasks in the application layers ([http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=108684 i108684]) ==

* debug and solve the application layer assumptions regarding advanced typography

Ubuntu Build Instructions

2010-06-27T19:04:19Z

Milosh: /* Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala and Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx */ OOo requires junit4(junit package provides junit 3). Edited to add this package and a needed parameter for the configure script.

{{Documentation/Building Guide TOC
|ShowNextPage=none
|ShowPrevPage=none
}}
{{Documentation/Note|Please add only Ubuntu-specifics here! Use the information on the [[Development/OpenOffice.org Building Guide/Building on Linux|Building Guide]] and only fall back to this document if you need help with Ubuntu-specifics (like package names).}}
== Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala and Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx==

To build you need the following packages:
<pre>
sudo apt-get install g++ gcc bison flex libarchive-zip-perl libcups2-dev libpam0g-dev \
sun-java6-jdk gperf libfreetype6-dev libxaw7-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrandr-dev patch \
libgconf2-dev libgnomevfs2-dev ant libgtk2.0-dev junit junit4</pre>

For the sun jdk you must activate the "ubuntu lucid partner" archive in the software sources.

Then you can build OOo with
<pre>
./configure --disable-mozilla --with-junit="/usr/share/java/junit4.jar"
</pre>

For other options regarding mozilla code please see [[Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Linux#create_prebuilt_mozilla|here]].

In case you want to get some libraries from the system instead of building them yourself, the following packages are candidates to be installed also:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install python-dev ccache libgraphite-dev \
libwpd8-dev libxslt-dev libdb4.7-dev libneon27-dev libhunspell-dev libaltlinuxhyph-dev
</pre>

Then follow the '''[[Documentation/Building Guide|Building Guide]]''' to continue.
