The problem with HB_TAG_STR() was that it expected a string of size 4
exactly, and unlike hb_tag_from_string() it doesn't pad the tag with
space characters. So, the new name is more appropriate.
Since we now assert thos in hb-private.h, the int types cannot be wrong.
(Except for when someone else includes hb-common.h in a very broken
configuration, but that's not our problem!)
Plus, we don't use inline in the public headers, so remove that too.
- 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.
hb_font_set_scale() now sets the value to be used to represent a unit
pixel. For example, if rendering a 10px font with a 26.6 representation,
you would set scale to (10 << 6). For 10px in 16.16 you would set it to
(10 << 16). This space should be the same space that the get_glyph_metrics
and get_kerning callbacks work in.
