Trying to understand libGsf
Posted by Sayamindu 4 years, 2 months ago
The GNOME Structured File Library (GSF) is an I/O abstraction for reading/writing compound files. Spent most of the evening trying to understand the libgsf API. Luckily the libgsf developers provide quite a large number of examples and after reading some of them, I think I’ll be able to do what I want to.
During the day, worked on getting a GtkTextView to behave like this. The hard part was handling Indic and Arabic text. Luckily Glib-2 provides some really handy utilities to handle UTF-8 text - and I have managed to come up with a a more or less working demo.
