We don't have that luxury on 10.4 (10.4's private CoreText isn't that sophisticated, even though I do use a set of headers I reverse-engineered for some basic function), so we have to rely on HarfBuzz's capability. HarfBuzz will probably support Arabic pretty soon, and gradually other scripts.<br /><br />In the meantime, I'm hoping to expand TenFourFox's ability to exploit the PowerPC better. Now that the nanojit will be a standard part of 10.4Fx, this will enable us to get even better performance.ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-27352275352334520332011-01-22T10:25:11.064-08:002011-01-22T10:25:11.064-08:00FYI, the latest version of Firefox 4.0b10pre compi...FYI, the latest version of Firefox 4.0b10pre compiled from official source works fine on PPC! (at least the version I downloaded from firefoxmac.furbism.com). Arabic/Indic text appears to render properly as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529983946658606482noreply@blogger.com
