Thursday, February 28. 2008libHaru.org - the new home of free & open source PDF generation lib
It took quite some time for me to think it over and prepare new libHaru site - libHaru.org.
Nevertheless, it's finally online and I'm going to continue maintaining the library, new bugfix release is on its way. Though I don't think I can do all the maintenance job on my own - some help is required with Windows builds and other things like the documentation, which needs some cleanup (even though it's in a good shape at the moment), so volunteers are very welcome. Anyway, if you need to produce PDF files, libHaru is the answer. If it doesn't satisfy your needs or even lacks something crucial - let me know, I'll see what I can do. Trackbacks

Raises hand I'll help with windows builds if you can't find other people - just give me a ping
I was thinking to write Windows UNICODE support for LibHaru. I mean detecting the characters in a Unicode string and adding automatically the necessary encodings to display the text. But, I am not sure if I can do it. If you like the idea, please let me know
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Some sort of automatic encoding detection?
I mean creating a new ShowText function that takes a UNICODE string in addition to the one that takes ANSI characters. In the ShowText(WCHAR* sText), I scan each character in the text and see in which range it belongs. www.unicode.org shows the UNICODE character ranges and each range to what encoding it belongs. So I scan each character in the Unicode string and see to which range it belongs and add its encoding to the PDF file. Does this sound logical?
It certainly does.
I believe it should be something similar to HPDF_Page_TextOut() (HPDF_Page_UTF8Out() maybe) and we'd need a function similar to HPDF_Font_MeasureText() to measure the text.
Emad,
Did you get anywhere making a UNICODE support function? I have an application for it. I wish I could help, but my knowledge of PDF encodings is limited. Of course UTF8 or any other universal encoding standard would be great as well... Thanks, Jordan
UTF8 works just fine.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Did you get anywhere with that unicode function? We are going to have to write one. Anyone interested in collaborating with us?
Hi! I`m sorry about offtop (and about my english
