Re: [ft] Tab (\t) escape space

[Michael IV]

Hmm,yes,now I see.I tried for example to see how Adobe AfterEffects deals with tab spacing between glyphs and it seems they use some arbitrary values.

I have another question though.I am building a bounding box around the text,including multi - line text.Now, horizontal bounds expand always correctly from left to right  of the actual text boundaries. But vertically,in some fonts I see the glyph caps pop outside the top bound.Vertical bounds I calculate by adding font height - line gap.Horizontal bounds I grow by adding the advance.

Ps. Similarly, FreeType does not deal with left or right indents, left, center or right alignment, full justification -- these are all things out of scope for FreeType, or even a line layout library such as HarfBuzz. You need to deal with it on a higher level when doing text layout.
