(Complex Text Layout support libraries): New section.

`configure' script finds them on your system, unless you supply the
appropriate --without-LIB option.  In some cases, older versions of
these libraries won't work because some routines are missing, and
configure should avoid such old versions.  If that happens, use the
--without-LIB options to `configure'.  See below for more details.

* Extra fonts

The Emacs distribution does not include fonts and does not install
them.  You must do that yourself.

* Complex Text Layout support libraries

Emacs needs the optional libraries "m17n-db", "libm17n-flt", "libotf"
to display correctly such complext scripts as Indic and Khmer
correclty.  On some systems, particularly on GNU/Linux, these
libraries may already be present or available as additional packages.
Note that if there is a separate `dev' or `devel' package, for use at
compilation time rather than run time, you will need that as well as
the corresponding run time package; typically the dev package will
contain header files and a library archive.  Otherwise, you can
download and build libraries from sources.

The sources of those libraries are available by anonyous CVS from
cvs.m17n.org.

    % cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs/m17n login
    % cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs/m17n co m17n-db
    % cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs/m17n co m17n-lib
    % cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs/m17n co libotf

The installation procedure is the same for them as below:

    % cd CVC_WORKING_DIR (m17n-db, m17n-lib, or libotf)
    % ./autogeh.sh
    % ./configure
    % make
    % make install  (you may have to run this after "su root")

Please note that Emacs is configured with the arg
"--enable-font-backend" to get the benefit of those libraries.
