Since I'm not an Apple developer, I'm not really sure where to look for such information. From what I've found through Google, it seems that the relevant library is simply CoreText, but I may completely misunderstand how OS X libraries work... > I don't have access to OS X, so if you could build libotf and the > other libraries mentioned in INSTALL and see if that gets you Arabic > shaping, that'd be nice. Thanks in advance. I've tried, but haven't been successful... m17n-db can be installed, though it requires downloading the charmaps and installing GNU/gettext because the program msgfmt isn't part of OS X. (It's part of GNU/gettext but not of the gettext that comes with OS X, it seems.) Then, however, configuring m17n-lib failed with the following message: autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4 autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.68/bin/autoconf --force configure.ac:52: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.68/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1 Since I have no idea what this is about, I stopped my attempts at installation. -- Dr. Joost Kremers Georg-August-Universität Seminar für Deutsche Philologie Käte-Hamburger-Weg 3 D-37073 Göttingen
