Thanks to David Corbett who revamped our script and language processing
and implemented full BCP 47 support.
https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/pull/730
New API:
+hb_ot_layout_table_select_script()
+hb_ot_layout_script_select_language()
+HB_OT_MAX_TAGS_PER_SCRIPT
+HB_OT_MAX_TAGS_PER_LANGUAGE
+hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language()
+hb_ot_tags_to_script_and_language()
Deprecated API:
-hb_ot_layout_table_choose_script()
-hb_ot_layout_script_find_language()
-hb_ot_tags_from_script()
-hb_ot_tag_from_language()
This prepares the headers for exporting symbols using visibility
attributes or __declspec(dllexport), so that we do not need to maintain
symbols listing files, as this is what was and is done in GLib and GTK+.
Should move these out of the public header...
We're "clean" of introspection warnings now. Remaining ones are about
graphite2 / freetype types not being introspectable.
Users should #include <hb.h> (or hb-ft.h, hb-glib.h, etc), but
never things like hb-shape.h directly. This makes it easier to
refactor headers later on without breaking compatibility.
Add compose() and decompose() unicode funcs. These implement
pair-wise canonical composition/decomposition.
The glib/icu implementations are lacking for now. We are adding
API for this to glib, but I cannot find any useful API in ICU.
May end of implementing these in-house.
Changed all unicode_funcs callback names to remove the "_get" part.
Eg, hb_unicode_get_script_func_t is now hb_unicode_script_func_t,
and hb_unicode_get_script() is hb_unicode_script() now.
This was a bizzare piece of API that I inherited from cairo. It has
been wrong adding them to cairo in the first place. Remove them before
someone uses them!
Unicode data providers can now be subclassed, including support for
chain-up. The interface should now be nicely bindable, as well.
Also fix glib unicode funcs that where broken after hb_script_t
changes. Nicely caught by the test-unicode.c added in this commit.
Also adds --script support to hb-view.
If a script tag is not known to us, we pass the ISO 15924 tag around.
Right now, the OT layer ignores that, but we can fix it to blindly
convert that to an OT script tag.
- Rename HB_SCRIPT_INVALID_CODE to HB_SCRIPT_INVALID
- Add HB_DIRECTION_INVALID
- Make hb_script_get_horizontal_direction() public
- Make hb_shape() guess script from buffer text (first non-common
non-inherit script) if buffer script is set to HB_SCRIPT_INVALID (this
is NOT the default.)
- Make hb_shape() guess direction from buffer script if buffer direction
is set to HB_DIRECTION_INVALID (this is NOT the default.)
- Make hb-view.c set INVALID script and direction on the buffer.
The above changes are meant to make hb-view fairly useful for uni-script
uni-direction text. The guessing behavior however is NOT the default of
hb_shape() and must be asked for explicitly. This is intended, because
the guess is not a suitable substitute to full-fledged bidi and script
segmentation. It's just a testing tool.
