See comments from caveat! Seems to work fine.
This is useful for Javanese which has an atomically encoded pre-base
reordering Ra which should only be reordered if it was substituted
by the pref feature.
For scripts without an old/new spec distinction, use zero-context=false.
This changes behavior in Sinhala / Khmer, but doesn't seem to regress.
This will be useful and used in Javanese.
Whic means these twp are applied per-syllable now. Apparently
in some Khmer fonts the clig interacts with presentation features.
Test case: U+1781,U+17D2,U+1789,U+17BB,U+17C6 with Mondulkiri-R.ttf
should produce one big ligature.
First, we were abusing OT_VD instead of OT_A. Fix that
but moving OT_A in the grammar where it belongs (which
is different from what the spec says).
Also, only allow medial consonants after all other
consonants. This doesn't affect any current character.
Finally, fix Halant attachment in presence of medial
consonants. Again, this currently doesn't affect any
sequence.
I lied. There's Gurmukhi U+0A75 which is Consonant_Medial.
Uniscribe allows one of those in each of these positions:
before matras, after matras and before syllable modifiers,
and after syllable modifiers! We currently just allow
unlimited numbers of it, before matras.
Seems to better match Uniscribe.
Note: NotoSansTelugu-Regular has kern feature, so this fixes most of the
positioning failures there, except for the kern pairs blocked by a
(non-)joiner, in which case we (correctly) kern, but Uniscribe doesn't.
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.

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:

Before, we were marking them as below-form for initial reordering.
However, there is a rule that says "post consonants should follow
below consonsnts" for base determination purposes. Malayalam has
port-form YA/VA, and RA is pre-base. As such, for a sequence like
YA,Virama,YA,Virama,RA, the correct base is at index 0. But
because the code was seeing RA as a below-base, it was stopping at
the second YA as base, instead of jumping it as a post-base.
By treating prebase-reordering consonants like post-forms, this
is fixed.

Not for Arabic, but for Indic-like scripts. ZWJ/ZWNJ have special
meanings in those scripts, so let font lookups take full control.
This undoes the regression caused by automatic-joiners handling
introduced two commits ago.
We only disable automatic joiner handling for the "basic shaping
features" of Indic, Myanmar, and SEAsian shapers. The "presentation
forms" and other features are still applied with automatic-joiner
handling.
This change also changes the test suite failure statistics, such that
a few scripts show more "failures". The most affected is Kannada.
However, upon inspection, we believe that in most, if not all, of the
new failures, we are producing results superior to Uniscribe. Hard to
count those!
Here's an example of what is fixed by the recent joiner-handling
changes:

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.
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.
This is important for the Sinhala U+0DDA split matra since it decomposes
to U+0DD9,U+0DCA where U+0DD9 is a left matra and U+0DCA is the virama.
We don't want to move the virama with the left matra.
TEST: U+0D9A,U+0DDA
Note that we were already doing this in the Uniscribe bug compatibility
mode. We now do it all the time.
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.
Uniscribe doesn't. And some fonts abuse this feature to get Indic
shaping working in non-complex applications like Adobe's apps.

The Win7 Tamil font does not realy on this behavior, but the WinXP

No panic, we reeally insert dotted circle when it's absolutely broken.
Fixes most of the dotted-circle cases against Uniscribe. (for Devanagari
fixes 80% of them, for Khmer 70%; the rest look like Uniscribe being
really bogus...)
I had to make a decision. Apparently Uniscribe adds one dotted circle
to each broken character. I tried that, but that goes wrong easily with
split matras. So I made it add only one dotted circle to an entire
broken syllable tail. As in: "if there was a dotted circle here, this
would have formed a correct cluster." That works better for split
stuff, and I like it more.
Fixes consonant-position with old-spec Malayalam. Uniscribe seem to be
doing this. Fixes below-base La (eg. Pa,H,La) with AnjaliNewLipi.ttf.
Doesn't regress new-spec or other scripts.
Free up syllables and let features work across syllables for the
presentation forms features and GPOS.

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.
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.
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.
The font is forming a post-base consonant in some samples, and Uniscribe
positions top matra on the post-base. Do the same.

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%).
That's really what Uniscribe does, and explains a lot of pecularities of
Halant,ZWNJ before the base.
Sent Telugu from 1% failures to 0.03%. Improved Kannada and Malayalam
slightly. Fixed half of Bengali, and did NOT break anything!
Following what the spec says.
Brings down Telugu failures from 40% to 3.75%, and Kannada failures from
44% to 10%. Does NOT affect other scripts' test results.
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.
It's a visual Repha.
Still not positioning logical Repha as occurs in Malayalam.
Another 200 Khmer failures fixed. 547 to go. That's better than
Devanagari!
In such scripts (ie. Khmer), a ZWJ/ZWNJ shouldn't stop the search for
base. So, instead just choose the first consonant as base directly.
Test sequence:
U+1798,200c,U+17C9,U+17D2,U+179B,U+17C1,U+17C7
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).
Uniscribe does not apply 'kern' in the Indic module. Some of the Khmer
fonts they ship have small adjustments in the 'kern' table. Disable
'kern' in the Indic module under Uniscribe bug compatibility mode.
Fixes some 10% of the Khmer failures. Remains under 3% (excluding
dotted-circle ones).
Mark them the same as the Register Shifters for now. Need to rename
that category to something more sensible after all is settled.
Fixes another percent of Khmer failures. Down to under 3%!
