Hi there, First of all, just let me say that Harfbuzz seems like an awesome piece of engineering, and the API seems a breeze to use. I've done a very simple example in just a few hours, and I'm very happy about that :).
I have two (very noob, sorry) questions, tough: 1) I want to enable (or disable) ligatures. I've seen that when using a font like Adobe Garamond Pro, ligatures are automatically used. I thought I had to pass a feature to hb_shape() to do that? Also, is there any way of enabling only some kind of ligatures, like historical ones? 2) Is Harfbuzz the right thing to use if I want to layout my text in a particular form? For example, I want to enclose my string in a box shape (like a page), and I was expecting Harfbuzz to automatically move the words around, but maybe this is the wrong thing to use and I need something like Pango? If Harfbuzz is the right thing to use, can I have random shapes, or just rectangles? Thank you in advance!
