Before, we were zeroing advance width of attached marks for
non-Indic scripts, and not doing it for Indic.
We have now three different behaviors, which seem to better
reflect what Uniscribe is doing:
- For Indic, no explicit zeroing happens whatsoever, which
is the same as before,
- For Myanmar, zero advance width of glyphs marked as marks
*in GDEF*, and do that *before* applying GPOS. This seems
to be what the new Win8 Myanmar shaper does,
- For everything else, zero advance width of glyphs that are
from General_Category=Mn Unicode characters, and do so
before applying GPOS. This seems to be what Uniscribe does
for Latin at least.
With these changes, positioning of all tests matches for Myanmar,
except for the glitch in Uniscribe not applying 'mark'. See preivous
commit.
New API:
hb_buffer_flags_t
HB_BUFFER_FLAGS_DEFAULT
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRESERVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES
hb_buffer_set_flags()
hb_buffer_get_flags()
We use the BOT flag to decide whether to insert dottedcircle if the
first char in the buffer is a combining mark.
The PRESERVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES flag prevents removal of characters like
ZWNJ/ZWJ/...
Had to do some refactoring to make this happen...
Under uniscribe bug compatibility mode, we still plit them
Uniscrie-style, but Jonathan and I convinced ourselves that there is no
harm doing this the Unicode way. This change makes that happen, and
unbreaks free Sinhala fonts.
This will eventually allow us to skip marks, as well as (fallback)
attach marks to ligature components of fallback-shaped Arabic.
That would be pretty cool. I kludged GDEF props in, so mark-skipping
works, but the produced ligature id/components will be cleared later
by substitute_start() et al.
Perhaps using a synthetic table for Arabic fallback shaping was a better
idea. The current approach has way too many layering violations...
The merger of normalizer and glyph-mapping broke shapers that
modified text stream. Unbreak them by adding a new preprocess_text
shaping stage that happens before normalizing/cmap and disallow
setup_mask modification of actual text.
If there is no GPOS, zero mark advances.
If there *is* GPOS and the shaper requests so, zero mark advances for
attached marks.
Fixes regression with Tibetan, where the font has GPOS, and marks a
glyph as mark where it shouldn't get zero advance.
When we removed the separate Hangul shaper, the specific normalization
preference of Hangul was lost. Fix that. Also, the Thai shaper was
copied from Hangul, so had the fully-composed normalization behavior,
which was unnecessary. So, fix that too.
According to Peter Constable this is indeed what Uniscribe has been
doing for years.
