@practicingruby I'd like to revisit this issue--is it still open? My app now needs to support Korean, Japanese, and Thai and I'd like to be able to mix different fonts in Prawn for each with fallbacks.

(An alternative is that I could use a font editor to combine the glyphs from N fonts into one master font, but that's a considerable pain to work with.)

I'm no longer involved with the project on a day to day basis, so the person to follow up with on this is @pointlessone.

Hi Johnny,

Yes, this issue is still open. Yes, you can work on it. I would appreciate if you submit a proposal first in case a substantial change is required before you issue a PR. Please also note that I'm a bit short on free time at the moment and may not respond in a timely manner. Still, others may give you valuable feedback.

Hmm... I've worked around this issue by combining fonts with FontForge, so I don't think I'll be able to work on a fix in Prawn.

No problem. I'm glad you've found a solution that works for you.
