Uniscribe

Uniscribe is a set of APIs that allow a fine degree of control for processing complex scripts. A complex script requires special processing to display and edit because the characters, or glyphs, are not laid out in a simple way. The rules governing the shaping and positioning of glyphs are specified and catalogued in The Unicode Standard: Worldwide Character Encoding, Version 2.0, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company.
