Before, if one called hb_shape() without setting script, language, and
direction on the buffer, hb_shape() was calling
hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the user's behalf to guess
these.
This is very dangerous, since any serious user of HarfBuzz must set
these properly (specially important is direction). So now, we don't
guess properties by default. People not setting direction will get
an abort() now. If the old behavior is desired (fragile, good for
simple testing only), users can call
hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the buffer just before calling
hb_shape().
This is a followup to 568000274c.
Looks like in the Latin shaper, Uniscribe zeroes all Unicode NSM
advances *after* GPOS, not before. Match that.
Can be tested using DejaVu Sans Mono, since that font has GPOS
rules to zero the mark advances on its own.
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.
API additions:

hb_segment_properties_hash()
hb_buffer_set_segment_properties()
hb_buffer_get_segment_properties()
hb_ot_layout_glyph_class_t
hb_shape_plan_t
hb_shape_plan_create()
hb_shape_plan_create_cached()
hb_shape_plan_get_empty()
hb_shape_plan_reference()
hb_shape_plan_destroy()
hb_shape_plan_set_user_data()
hb_shape_plan_get_user_data()
hb_shape_plan_execute()
hb_ot_shape_plan_collect_lookups()
API changes:
Rename hb_ot_layout_feature_get_lookup_indexes() to
hb_ot_layout_feature_get_lookups().
New header file:
hb-shape-plan.h
And a bunch of prototyped but not implemented stuff. Coming soon.
(Tests fail because of the prototypes right now.)
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.
That's really the logic desired. Except that MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR
is not default_ignorable but it really should be. Reported to Unicode.
Based on suggestion from Konstantin Ritt.
Unfortunately if the font has GPOS and 'mark' feature does
not position mark on dotted-circle, our inserted dotted-circle
will not get the mark repositioned to itself. Uniscribe cheats
here.
If there is no GPOS however, the fallback positioning kicks in
and sorts this out.
I'm not willing to address the first case.
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.
Essentially move the glyph mapping to normalization process.
The effect on Devanagari is small (but observable). Should be more
observable in simple text, like ASCII.
'rclt' is "Required Contextual Forms" being proposed by Microsoft.
It's like 'calt', but supposedly always on. We apply 'calt' anyway,
and now apply this too.
At this point, the GDEF glyph synthesis looks pointless. Not that I
have many fonts without GDEF lying around.
As for mark advance zeroing when GPOS not available, that also is being
replaced by proper fallback mark positioning soon.
We need the font for glyph lookup during GSUB pauses in Indic shaper.
Could perhaps be avoided, but at this point, we don't mean to support
separate substitute()/position() entry points (anymore), so there is
no point in not providing the font to GSUB.
