* Guard against underflow when adjusting length
With the fuzz-testcase in mozilla bug 1295299, we end up with a recursed lookup that removes 3 items, when `match_positions[idx]` is 0, which results in (unsigned) `end` wrapping to a huge value.
Making `end` a signed int is probably the simplest route to a fix.

The numbers for right-to-left scripts are processed also from right to
left, so the order of applying “numr” and “dnom” features should be
reversed in such case.

The so-called Python 2 “narrow” builds support UCS2 only, this is a
workaround to allow unichr to work with any Unicode character in such
builds. This fixes Travis-CI failure as it has narrow Python 2 builds.

With javatext.ttf, the reodering medial Ra gets its advance width
zero'ed in Uniscribe implementation, and the font adds the advance
back. Our Indic shaper does not do that, but USE does. So, route
Javanese through USE. That's what Microsoft does anyway. Test:
U+A9A5,U+A9BA
This also seems to fix the following sequence, and variations thereof:
U+A99F,U+A9C0,U+A9A2,U+A9BF
Apparently some clients have reference-table callbacks that copy the table.
As such, avoid loading 'glyf' table which is only needed if fallback positioning
happens.
That commit moved the advance adjustment for mark positioning to
be applied immediately, instead of doing late before. This breaks
if mark advances are zeroed late, like in Arabic. Also, easier to
hit it in RTL scripts since a single mark with non-zero advance is
enough to hit the bug, whereas in LTR, at least two marks are needed.
This reopens https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/211
The cursive+mark interaction is broken again. To be fixed in a
different way.
This better emulates Unicode grapheme clusters.
Note that Uniscribe does NOT do this, but should be harmless with most clients,
and improve fallback with clients that use HarfBuzz cluster as unit of fallback.
Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/217
This is what Microsoft's implementation does. Marks that need advance
need to add it back using 'dist' or other feature in GPOS. Update tests to
match.
Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/211
What happens in that bug is that a mark is attached to base first,
then a second mark is cursive-chained to the first mark. This only
"works" because it's in the Indic shaper where mark advances are
not zeroed.
Before, we didn't allow cursive to run on marks at all. Fix that.
We also where updating mark major offsets at the end of GPOS, such
that changes in advance of base will not change the mark attachment
position. That was superior to the alternative (which is what Uniscribe
does BTW), but made it hard to apply cursive to the mark after it
was positioned. We could track major-direction offset changes and
apply that to cursive in the post process, but that's a much trickier
thing to do than the fix here, which is to immediately apply the
major-direction advance-width offsets... Ie.:
https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/211#issuecomment-183194739
If this breaks any fonts, the font should be fixed to do mark attachment
after all the advances are set up first (kerning, etc).
Finally, this, still doesn't make us match Uniscribe, for I explained
in that bug. Looks like Uniscribe applies minor-direction cursive
adjustment immediate as well. We don't, and we like it our way, at
least for now. Eg. the sequence in the test case does this:
- The first subscript attaches with mark-to-base, moving in x only,
- The second subscript attaches with cursive attachment to first subscript
moving in x only,
- A final context rule moves the first subscript up by 104 units.
The way we do, the final shift-up, also shifts up the second subscript
mark because it's cursively-attached. Uniscribe doesn't. We get:
[ttaorya=0+1307|casubscriptorya=0@-242,104+-231|casubscriptnarroworya=0@20,104+507]
while Uniscribe gets:
[ttaorya=0+1307|casubscriptorya=0@-242,104+-211|casubscriptnarroworya=0+487]
note the different y-offset of the last glyph. In our view, after cursive,
things move together, period.
This test font had a upem of 769, which results in rounding-related errors with
the FreeType font funcs. Change the upem to 1024 to fix that.
Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/201
We use three bits for lig_id these days, so we finally got a report of
two separate ligatures with the same lig_id happening adjacent to each
other, and then the component-handling code was breaking things.
Protect against that by ignoring same-lig-id but lig-comp=0 glyphs after
a new ligature.
Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/198
Before, we were just checking the use_category(). This detects as
halant a ligature that had the halant as first glyph (as seen in
NotoSansBalinese.) Change that to use the is_ligated() glyph prop
bit. The font is forming this ligature in ccmp, which is before
the rphf / pref tests. So we need to make sure the "ligated" bit
survives those tests. Since those only check the "substituted" bit,
we now only clear that bit for them and "ligated" survives.
Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/180
This is just to make it harder to be extremely slow. There definitely
are ways still, just harder. Oh well... how do we tame this problem
without solving halting problem?!
Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/174
To fully test what these are supposed to test, they should be run
against libharfbuzz-fuzzing.la instead of libharfbuzz.la, but for
now just record the files.
The feature is enabled for any character in the Arabic shaper.
We should experiment with using it for Arabic subtending marks.
Though, that has a directionality problem as well, since those
are used with digits...
Fixes https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/141
This resurrects the space fallback feature, after I disabled
the compatibility decomposition. Now I can release HarfBuzz
again without breaking Pango!
It also remembers which space character it was, such that later
on we can approximate the width of this particular space
character. That part is not implemented yet.
We normalize all GC=Zs chars except for U+1680 OGHA SPACE MARK,
which is better left alone.
Also route fuzzing-related tests through hb-ot-font, to reduce dependency
on FreeType behavior for badly-broken fonts. Fixes failing test with
FreeType master.
Fails now. Fix coming. See thread "Issue with cursive attachment"
started by Khaled. Test fonts were made by modifying test font
from Khaled to add more anchors.
On ArchLinux, /usr/bin/python is linked to python 3 so
HarfBuzz `make check` is broken there.
This makes hb_test_tools.py compatible with python 3 while
no breaking it on python 2.
In Oriya, a ZWJ/ZWNJ might be added before candrabindu to encourage
or stop ligation of the candrabindu. This is clearly specified in
the Unicode section on Oriya. Allow it there. Note that Uniscribe
doesn't allow this.

Micro-test added based on Padauk.
Follows the order of the Arabic/Syriac specs. Also don't stop
between rlig and calt in non-Arabic scripts.
Micro-tests for Arabic and Mongolian added for the latter.
Originally we fixed those in 79d1007a50.
However, fonts like MongolianWhite don't have GDEF, but have IgnoreMarks
in their LigatureSubstitute init/etc features. We were synthesizing a
GDEF class of mark for Mongolian Variation Selectors and as such the
ligature lookups where not matching. Uniscribe doesn't do that.
I tried with more sophisticated fixes, like, if there is no GDEF and
a lookup-flag mismatch happens, instead of rejecting a match, try
skipping that glyph. That surely produces some interesting behavior,
but since we don't want to support fonts missing GDEF more than we have
to, I went for this simpler fix which is to always mark
default-ignorables as base when synthesizing GDEF.
Micro-test added.
Fixes rest of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65258
If pre-base reordering Ra is NOT formed (or formed and then
broken up), we should consider that Ra as base. This is
observable when there's a left matra or dotreph that positions
before base.
Now, it might be that we shouldn't do this if the Ra happend
to form a below form. We can't quite deduce that right now...
Micro test added. Also at:
https://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/noto-alpha/issues/detail?id=186#c29
Normally if you want to, say, conditionally prevent a 'pref', you
would use blocking contextual matching. Some designers instead
form the 'pref' form, then undo it in context. To detect that
we now also remember glyphs that went through MultipleSubst.
In the only place that this is used, Uniscribe seems to only care
about the "last" transformation between Ligature and Multiple
substitions. Ie. if you ligate, expand, and ligate again, it
moves the pref, but if you ligate and expand it doesn't. That's
why we clear the MULTIPLIED bit when setting LIGATED.

OT spec doesn't actually say what characters go in the syllable
modifier category, and allows one. We just allow up to two now.

Uniscribe currently doesn't support that and produces a
dotted circle.
More like Uniscribe... We still allow user-defined features to
work across syllables, but not pres,blws,abs,psts,etc.
This "regressed" Sinhala numbers by 11. These are cases were
there's Consonant followed by Ra,Halant,ZWJ at the of text.
The Ra,Halant,ZWJ ends up forming reph, which is wrong...
But before we were also ligating that reph with the previous
consonant. That's even more wrong. That's also what Uniscribe
does.

The new test suite runs tests included under
hb/test/shaping/tests/*.tests, which themselves reference
font files stored by sha1sum under hb/test/shaping/fonts/sha1sum.
The fonts are produced using a subsetter to only include glyphs
needed to run the test.
Four initial tests are added for (Chain)Context matching,
of which three currently fail.
After the Ngapi hackfest work, we were assuming that fonts
won't use presentation features to choose specific forms
(eg. conjuncts). As such, we were using auto-joiner behavior
for such features. It proved to be troublesome as many fonts
used presentation forms ('pres') for example to form conjuncts,
which need to be disabled when a ZWJ is inserted.
Two examples:
U+0D2F,U+200D,U+0D4D,U+0D2F with kartika.ttf
U+0995,U+09CD,U+200D,U+09B7 with vrinda.ttf
What we do now is to never do magic to ZWJ during GSUB's main input
match for Indic-style shapers. Note that backtrack/lookahead are still
matched liberally, as is GPOS. This seems to be an acceptable
compromise.
As to the bug that initially started this work, that one needs to
be fixed differently:

The code was confused because it was expecting left matra to have
POS_PRE_M, like we do in the Myanmar shaper, but that is not what
we were doing in this shaper. Rewrite to rely on category only.
Test case: U+AA06,U+AA34,U+AA2F
Ouch, how did things ever work without this?! The added test that has a
dot-reph as well as a pre-base reordering Ra perfectly demonstrates the
bug (tested with Nirmala font from Win8 for example). Testing suggests
that Win8 shaper has the *exact* same bug / behavior that we used to
have. Odd.
This sequence: U+120B,U+135F,U+120B with the Nyala font from Win7
exposes a GPOS bug in Uniscribe, in that the positioned mark is wrongly
moved as a result a following kern.
This is the one "failure" in the Ethiopic test suite :-).

With FreeSerif, it seems that the 'ccmp' feature does ligature

find syllables before any features have been applied.

After we implemented dotted-circle, we were still ignoring any tests
that had dottedcircle in it for any of the shapers. That meant that if
we wrongly outputted dottedcircle, the test was being ignored. Ouch!
Fixing that shows regressions across the board. Most are Uniscribe
bugs: NOT inserting dotted-circle when it should. Some are arou
machine bugs. This is in fact a nice way to catch Indic-machine
deficiencies and when I fix the regressions, our clusters should be
much closer to Uniscribe. For now, we regressed from:

Investigating.
The d1d69ec52e change broke Kannada badly,
since it was ligating consonants, pushing matra out, and then ligating
with the matra. Adjust for that. See comments.
This commit: a3313e5400 broke MarkMarkPos
when one of the marks itself is a ligature. That regressed 26 Tibetan
tests (up from zero!). Fix that. Tibetan back to zero.
The font is forming a post-base consonant in some samples, and Uniscribe
positions top matra on the post-base. Do the same.
Gurmukhi failures down from 59 to 41 (0.0674242%).
Uniscribe is buggy and sometimes /eats/ a mark next to a non-joiner.

In Khmer coeng model, a V,Ra can go *after* matras. If it goes after a
split matra, it should be reordered to *before* the left part of such matra.
Khmer failures down from 136 to 39 (0.0130381%).
Apparently if there is C,V,ZWJ,C, the first C will be base, but if
it's C,ZWJ,V,C, the second one will be.
Note that Uniscribe implements this differently, by breaking syllable in
the case of C,ZWJ,V,C and putting the first consonant in one syllable
and the rest in the next syllable.
Sinhala failures down from 208 to 158 (0.0581209%). No changes to
Khmer.
Sinhala does not have half forms. And most (all?) consonants can be
base, except when preceded by ZWJ, which would request a subjoined form.
Hence switch the base algorithm to categorize with Khmer, start search
at start, and stop at a ZWJ.
Also, mark all pos=base consonants after base to be subjoined. Mark
base itself to have pos=base.
Finally, adjust Sinhala's reph position to after-main.
Brings down Sinhala failures from 455 to 328 (0.120656%).
If, say, a H,ZWJ,C ligature was formed, we don't want the code to detec
that as a Halant. So, ignore ligatures when matching category in
final_reordering.
Sinhala failures down from 514 to 455 (0.167374%).
Uniscribe reorders U+0E3A to be after U+0E38 and U+0E39. We do that by
modifying the ccc for U+0E3A.
Fixes the two remaining Thai failures (see previous commit).
Adjust the list of marks before SARA AM that get the reordering
treatment. Also adjust cluster formation to match Uniscribe.
With Wikipedia test data, now I see:
- For Thai, with the Angsana New font from Win7, I see 54 failures out
of over 4M tests (0.00129107%). Of the 54, two are legitimate
reordering issues (fix coming soon), and the other 52 are simply
Uniscribe using a zero-width space char instead of an unknown
character for missing glyphs. No idea why. The missing-glyph
sequences include one that is a Thai character followed by an Arabic
Sokun. Someone confused it with Nikhahit I assume!
- For Lao, with the Dokchampa font from Win7, 33 tests fail out of
54k (0.0615167%). All seem to be insignificant mark positioning
with two marks on a base. Have to investigate.
In Sinhala, Rakar is formed by Al-Lakuna,ZWJ,Ra. If you put that at the
end of a Consonant,Matra syllable, you get a dotted-circle from
Uniscribe. Apparently adding a ZWJ before the Al-Lakuna "fixes" that.
And people have been encoding that sequence... So, allow a forced
"ZWJ,Virama,ZWJ,Ra" sequence at the of syllables.
Fixes some 100 or more of Sinhala failures. Now at 622 only (0.23%).
POS_BASE can disappear if base ligated backward. Define base as last
with position not after base.
Fixes a few hundred of Sinhala failures with Iskoola Pota.
Mark stuff after a pre-base reordering Ro 'cfar'. Used in Khmer.
This allows distinguishing the following cases with MS Khmer fonts:
U+1784,U+17D2,U+179A,U+17D2,U+1782
U+1784,U+17D2,U+1782,U+17D2,U+179A
In Khmer, a final subjoined consonant or independent vowel can occur
after matras. This final subjoined thing should NOT be reordered to
before the matra even though it's subjoined.
Fixes another 1k of the Khmer failures. Not much left really.
Amend the syllable structure to allow a final subscripted consonant
(Coeng+C) and a final subscripted independent vowel (Coeng+V).
Fixes another 2k of Khmer failures.
Normally, we attach the Halant to the previous character and move it
with it. For after-base consonants however, the Halant "belongs" to the
consonant after, so attach it so.
This fixes Bengali sequences involving post-base consonant Ya, which
should ligate with the Halant to form Ya Phala, but previously a
reordered matras was blocking the ligation.
Seems like this is what Uniscribe is doing, and does not break any fonts
we tested (with Devanagari, Malayalam, Khmer, and Bengali), while fixing
some Ra Phala sequences for Bengali with Vrinda. Fixes another 2% of
Bengali failures (a couple more to go).
The spec says: "[{M}+[N]+[H]]", and that's what Uniscribe implements.
We instead do: "{M+[N]+[H]}", which means we allow Nukta and Halant
after all Matras, not just the last one. It makes more sense.
In the case of Consonant,LeftMatra,Halant, Uniscribe leaves the Halant
where it is, but we want to move it with the Matra as that makes more
logical sense.
U+0985 BENGALI LETTER A followed by U+09D7 BENGALI AU LENGTH MARK.
According to Bobby de Vos on the mailing list, this results in a dotted
circle with most shaping engines, but is a legitimate sequence in this
minority language.
We reached the consensus on the list to NOT implement dotted-circle
in HarfBuzz.
