2D font extension

Open AmitMY opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I work with a 2D script (Sutton SignWriting), which specifies characters, and their 2D position. Linearly looks like this image but can be rendered like this image I am wondering how I could extend your work to not only work from left-to-right, but up-to-down, and create 2D patches instead of the current 1D

Hi Amit, sign languages sound like a really promising application of PIXEL! I'm sure the top-to-bottom rendering can be done, and also 2D patches. I'll think about how this could be implemented, and if you want we could also have a chat about it offline soon

FWIW Mongolian script is also written vertically https://omniglot.com/writing/mongolian.htm

My interest was sparked by this because of the lack of layout representation in most others models. Was a little sad to see line-breaks and indention are not supported. If there's any update on this from your "offline chat" I hope you'll post an overview here as well!

Awesome concept, very refreshing! Hope it will be an on-going project in the future.
