Text run in DirectWrite

[Julian Rüger]

Hi List,

I'm having some trouble translating "text run" (in the current release
notes "Better text run support in DirectWrite.")

I would appreciate an explanation and/or suggestions for a German
translation. Is it some kind of moving text? An iteration of some sorts
over a given text or string(s)?

Thanks and a happy new year to everyone!

Best,
Julian

No, nothing moves or iterates. Run means just a range of input text 
characters that share same properties like font, style, script, locale, 
bidi level, etc.

It's described in Uniscribe glossary

Thanks Nikolay! That helps a bit. I'll add ("Runs") after my translation
to be clear.

Cheers,
Julian

PS: Forgot to CC wine-devel... Sorry for the double post!
