I propose to fix a limitation of our PostScript support where only latin characters can be output in vectorial form to PostScript. Non-latin scripts are output in bitmap form.
That is relevant for the X11 platform where FLTK printing uses PostScript. [That is not important under Windows and macOS because printing fully supports all of unicode in vectorial form there.]
The solution I propose is to use cairo's PostScript surface, and to activate that by "configure --enable-pango" or CMake's OPTION_USE_PANGO.
I attach, as an example, the PostScript output for test/editor and misc/lorem_ipsum.txt containing all sorts of scripts.
It's all at https://github.com/ManoloFLTK/fltk.git in branch pango-ps
Please, vote about my proposal to commit that to FLTK 1.4.
Thanks.
