I didn't enable FreeType 2. But using FreeType 1 only
I am able to display unicode charcters from truetype
font files. This is OpenType file and not able to
displahy. I check with FreeType2.
And finally I want to know whether nano-X renders
correctly for indic scripts, like combining charcters
and placing a character before a character. ( I mean
in memory character positions are x,y but it has to
render yx)
