Integrating complex script layout with all its odds and ends can easily become a pain. pango is mature in most areas when it comes to layout and full unicode feature support, so settling on an own implementation would be the wrong way to go in my opinion. > official part of pygame? Have you got something I can test already? Yes it will be an official part, sorted under the pygame.font module. The goal is to replace the buggy SDL_ttf rendering part with pango by default, but keep also the old implementation for systems on which pango is not available or for which it is not suitable for the one or other reason. At the moment there are just some stubs I have around locally. Nothing to test, though. Regards Marcus
