The latest Collabora Online has some related improvements too.
Which scripts are now supported
The updated Collabora Office mobile apps do now support a wide range of scripts and fonts natively available on your phone. Namely, those are:
- Chinese (Mandarin, simplified)
- Chinese (Mandarin, traditional)
- Hindi
- Japanese
- Korean
- Thai
- Vietnamese
Improvement in fontconfig
The support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and other previously unsupported scripts, could be added thanks to a performance fix in fontconfig. This allows resulted in a much improved loading time of the app. Thanks to Behdad Esfahbod (branch faster), fontconfig authors and contributors, and Michael Weghorn (for updating fontconfig) for their work on this!
