It was suggested I contact some specific people - and I have done that yet
- but I see no harm bringing it up here too:
I've been thinking, for many years, about trying to build an Arabic script
and handwriting recognition add-on, specifically for my 2100 - so 2.0. I
did research years ago and looked some of it up again recently. Apple's
tutorial on building fonts is gone. Fuser and Fissioner are hard to find -
or at least one of them is, I forget which.
But if I recall properly the one real problem would be that there's only
left-to-right recognition. There is a Chinese add-on and a Japanese
add-on. I've never tested them because I can't write in any of the scripts
involved, but my understanding is that they did add-on recognition - but
that's it's left-to-right.
Does anyone have any thoughts or know anything about this?
