228911 - [ps] add MathML to PS-FT2 printing

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Jungshik Shin]

Currently,  the default PS module and PS-Freetype2 module don't support MathML
and custom encdoing fonts. Custom encoding font support depends on bug 208213
and is relevant to PS-FT2 module.  So, here I want to focus on MathML support
(especially in PS-FT2 module) There are two things to be done.

1. Modify DrawString() ,GetWidth(), etc to work with MathML fonts. That means,
converting Unicode to MathML font-encodings (font-dependent).

2. Implement GetBoundingMetrics().  

These are already in place for Gtk-FT2 so that it can be done sorta with
copy&paste. I think there should be a better way (to factor out the common part)
than this, but I may begin with copy&paste (there are already a lot of
duplications in Gtk-FT2 and PS-FT2) until I come up with a way to factor out the
common part.

The PS code is long gone.
