[OSM-dev] Improved text rendering in Mapnik

[Hermann Kraus]

Hi!

As my Google Summer of Code project I worked on improving Mapnik's text  
rendering. The most important change was adding support for complex  
scripts, but I also implemented some other nice features. You can read  
more about my work here:

Build instructions are included and I would like to hear about your  
success stories, but bug reports are also welcome.
