@dmarkov20 We will be having a HarfBuzz upgrade to mainline soon. As @prrace suggested, this might be unnecessary at this point then. @prrace What about patching it to other branches -17, 20u, is that not required too since we will be backporting the next planned upgrade changes to these branches too? ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/13328#issuecomment-1500592886
