Not sure, it seems more natural for us to use Pango, which already uses HarfBuzz internally AFAIK.

Apparently the people with a clue about this think that using Harfbuzz directly makes more sense, so disregard that :) Some links Behdad pasted on IRC to read about the APIs we should be using to write a harfbuzz backend: - http://behdad.org/text/ - http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/harfbuzz/2009-August/000359.html Created attachment 45265 [details]

This patch seems to work, but Harfbuzz doesn't yet do any complex shaping so it's hard to know. :( |
