Using drawText to render both latin and cjk characters.

[Michael Ong]

Hi!

I'm just wondering if drawText can support drawing latin alphabet at the same time with cjk (or other non-latin) alphabet.

I tried calling drawText with the input string (which is in wchar_t) "Hello World! こんいちは！" but only the english one is rendered. I also set setTextEncoding in my SkPaint to UTF32.

Should I have to do additional stuff like specifying a typeface that has all the necessary character glyphs or can I just supply multiple font files to skia?

Thanks,

Michael

Skia is a low level graphics library that primarily supports drawing specific glyphs with specific fonts. Applications like Chrome that use Skia use a library like Harfbuzz to shape the text and choose the appropriate glyphs and fonts.

While it's technically possible to implement your own font manager with Skia to do what you want, using a text shaper library is the way to go.

How do I integrate Harfbuzz with Skia?

Could you please give a example how to use Harfbuzz work with Skia?
