Post non-phpwcms related topics here - but I don't want to see "hey check this or that other cms". Post if you have a point or worthwhile comment, don't post just to increase you post count!
we all know that you are very busy but may I ask for more details. The integration of something like Fontizer would solve a couple of problems here. We are trying to publish ancient text using a mixture of latin and non-latin fonts in a tablelike ordering. So do you plan to integrate it as a MOD or as part of the core? Is it possible to have such a tool (very) soon?
Tried to contact Jérôme some days ago but got no answer yet.
If you prefer we can talk about the details via PN.

I am just working on an answer for you . I am busy, too, I can only work on private projects at night or early morning, but I am looking at this specific project.
@Oliver: If you implement the code conversion tool, would you share it with me so that I can use it with the Fontizer, or will it be a pre-fontizer thing that you implement directly into phpwcms?
I will share it with you it's a pleasure. It's a really good class that I have found and may solve a lot of problems. I'm planning (.....) to normalize all text input with it to get UTF-8 for all output.
Planning is always good, Oliver . Perhaps we can talk about it (IM) one of the next days. As you are really busy (as usual), you could explain to me what you mean exactly and I will try to implement it. Does this sound like a plan?
@Jérôme,
nice to hear! So there is hope for me to get a solution. Eagerly awaiting your answer.
@Oliver
Have to mention that this feature is something I could not find in any other CMS. Or do you know about something like GT-generation in another CMS?

I am a pioneer *sing*. No, I'm not - there are other attempts of graphical text replacement, but these are mostly based on javascript and CSS - my method, wich is used in phpwcms relies only on server side scripting and provides only the images.
The advantage of the class is certainly that it is a class and should be easy to implement in other projects.
* Added support for text charset conversion (idea and hint by Oliver Georgi). This should be one problem less for the integration into phpwcms, one day.
