gujarati_pdf_fixer

Unicode-first Gujarati text rendering for PDFs generated with Flutter's pdf package.

This package is a thin language-focused facade over pdf_text_shaper. HarfBuzz performs real OpenType shaping while this package adds convenient font loading, script detection and PDF widgets.

Features

  • HarfBuzz GSUB/GPOS shaping through pdf_text_shaper
  • Unicode-first Gujarati text
  • fallback fonts for mixed-script documents
  • multiline wrapping and reusable typography
  • optional invisible Unicode layer for search/copy
  • GujaratiText, GujaratiParagraph, GujaratiHeader
  • GujaratiRichText, GujaratiBulletList, GujaratiTable
  • GujaratiFontManager with safe asset caching/retry
  • no bundled fonts

Install

dependencies:
  gujarati_pdf_fixer: ^1.0.0

Add a Unicode OpenType font that supports the Gujarati script. For example, a suitable Noto font such as NotoSansGujarati-Regular.ttf.

Basic usage

final font = await GujaratiFontManager.instance.loadAsset(
  'assets/fonts/NotoSansGujarati-Regular.ttf',
);

GujaratiParagraph(
  'ગુજરાતી: હું ગુજરાતીમાં લખું છું.',
  font: font,
  fontSize: 14,
)

Typography

final typography = GujaratiTypography(
  regularFont: regular,
  boldFont: bold,
  fallbackFonts: [latinRegular],
  boldFallbackFonts: [latinBold],
);

GujaratiHeader(
  'Gujarati document',
  style: typography.heading(fontSize: 24),
)

Detection

'ગુજરાતી: હું ગુજરાતીમાં લખું છું.'.containsGujarati; // true

Font lifecycle

await GujaratiFontManager.instance.dispose();

The package intentionally does not bundle fonts. Verify the license of any font you ship with your application.

Platforms

Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. Web is not currently supported by the native shaping backend.
