Just a clarification on the HarfBuzz.pdf document that I referenced, to
answer any questions in advance.
1. Each example is given with a title (e.g., TTBHebrew) and horizontally
LTR the RAW input text characters, as fed to HarfBuzz::Shaper.
2. The HarfBuzz-shaped output starts on the next line down. LTR starts
near the left, RTL starts at the right margin on page 1.
3. The vertical examples (page 2) have a horizontal line with a dot in
the middle, showing the alignment (starting point) of the write(s). For
the "Hi There!" text (first two), 3 alignments are demonstrated:
Beginning (default), Center, or End of the text falls on the starting point.
4. The HarfBuzz-shaped text has a little arrow showing where the next
write would be for my library, and the direction of growth.
