[Cuis] Ropes & Unicode

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Ken,

At https://github.com/KenDickey/Cuis-Unicode you say there's no support 
for display yet. My yet unpublished Morphic 3 prototype can render ISO 
8859-15 using the vector graphics engine with decent visual quality (on 
par with Mac & Win). If things go well, I should be able to include a 
TrueType or OpenType interpreter, meaning that some support for 
displaying any Unicode glyph is not that far (maybe a year from now). 
This would be Freetype functionality.

As you know, proper paragraph composition in any script is another 
(harder) problem for the future. (PanGo functionality).

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
