Description
Created attachment 366996 To make display VS(variation sequences. SVS/IVS/FVS) on gnome-terminal
My purpose is to make display VS(variation sequences. SVS/IVS/FVS) on gnome-terminal and gedit at RHEL/CentOS. Now these application show only base character.
To fix completely, it is necessary to modify many libraries. (vte-2.91, pango, harfbuzz, freetype2, fontconfig, GLib, etc.) It's very hard work.
So I created a patch with a minimal amount of modifications. Such patch maybe not acceptable from the view point of libraries. Please tell us your opinion.
After applying this patch, I know following problem.
When scroll up/resize/maximize window of vte-2.91 and gnome-terminal, VS characters will change to only base character. I think need patch of vte-2.91, and now creating such patch.
