While reading page 13 of John Hudson’s IUC39 presentation [1], I was wondering if HarfBuzz can handle script, language and direction properties the same way it handles optional features; i.e. instead of sending HarfBuzz buffers that has a single script, language and direction, one sends a single buffer for the whole paragraph with arrays of script etc. ranges similar to hb_feature_t ranges and let HarfBuzz do its magic on it, allowing for any cross boundary lookups to be applied as the required context will not be lost.
WDYT? 1. http://tiro.com/John/Hudson_IUC39_Beyond_Shaping.pdf _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
