[smc-discuss] Automate Rendering Testing - Weekly status update, GSoC - '13

[Nandaja Varma]

Hello,

The work of mine has been correcting the reference glyph files and
developing a web interface for the proposed framework. I had tried and made
the reference files least buggy as possible. I have gone through the glyph
names of almost all the 243 words in 4 fonts. I had to invest a lot of time
on this especially due to one minor misunderstanding of mine on the
multiple correct renderings of the words. And I hope it will get much
refined after Rajeeshettan proof read it for 2 fonts as he has suggested.
(I have changed the renderings of words with repham in Rachana such that
the dotreph comes first. So words like these http://troll.ws/image/2e3a872e
, http://troll.ws/image/469dd87a, http://troll.ws/image/5838dbec although
looks correct, will be in the wrongly rendered words list by harfbuzz.)

The next part of this weeks work was developing the web interface (Excuse
my poor design, I am cleaning it up as I write). It doesn't actually spits
output to the user now or doesn't make it easier for the user to open
files. I am hoping to make it run the script well in a week's time and
don't think it is ready yet for the review. So I would like another week to
make it ready for reviewing.

And finally about the C code I have added to the repo. I will start working
on a new code in C++ once I am done with the webpage as I find the present
code massively buggy and really inefficient. I hope I'll be able to update
it the week after next.

Will keep you updated. Thanks!
