Because there's nothing meaningful that can be done with an "invalid" language tag detected. By not validating, HarfBuzz is future-proof, as in, as long as the user and the font agree on the language tag, it works, even if at the time the particular version of HarfBuzz was developed such language tag didn't exist. That's why we use a string, not an enum. b _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
