I am currently working on a python script that will create a "Speech Bubble" using a string as an input.
Its fairly simple, except the fact that the input is in Arabic! Writing is from right to left. Every letter has 3-4 variations, every variation depends on the letters around him. Six letters have special rules.That meens no standard technique will work, no bitmap can replace the font since it is fully scripted.
A simple job becomes a huge project. Why would it be simple when it can be so complicated.
Project done: 95%
20.05.2011:
-complete rewrite of the code
