Excellent, his was writtein in C++ I take it? Is this GPLed? If so, would
you be willing to release the copyright into the public domain (open
source political reasons for this, see below)

Once this is done, I'd be *very* interested in writing an Objective-C
wrapper for this and using it in the GNUstep project. But a glib
dependency is a showstopper. I'm currently investigating the difficulty of
adding Arabic + Shaping support to GNUstep (see www.gnustep.org if you
dont know what it is, or if you have some specific questions, feel free to
ask.)
