[reportlab-users] Incorrect character composition

[Andy Robinson]

Glenn,  my apologies - I had assumed you were discussing "unusual
languages" without re-reading the original email carefully.  It might
not be that bad.

There are two things we could do in the short term, and I'm keen to
keep the core library moving forwards:

(1) We could potentially provide a special flowable for kerned titles
and short phrases.  This would of course have to render a glyph at a
time in Python, doing the lookups and calculations

(2) If you can find another open source PDF generator in any language
which gets it right, and let us know, we can study a "hello world" PDF
out of that tool and see what it does.   This would be a big time
saver.
