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 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.
Implemented as a hack for now. Myanmar failures down from 23 to 15.
MYANMAR: 1123868 out of 1123883 tests passed. 15 failed (0.00133466%)
The remaining 15 cases are all where the syllable is wrong according to
the OpenType spec. We insert dottedcircle. Uniscribe fails to do that,
but it also fails to reorder the prebase-reordering medial-Ra. So it
gets it wrong.
Before, when matching ligatures, we never skipping over base / liga
glyphs even if that was what the LookupFlags asked for.
Fixed now. We carefully reviewed all instances of this, and tested with
Amiri as well as some Indic scripts, and are confident that this should
NOT break anyone's fonts. It's also how Uniscribe does it, from what
we can tell.
Before, for most scripts, we were not trying to recompose two characters
if the second one had ccc=0. That fails for Myanmar where U+1026
decomposes to U+1025,U+102E, both of which have ccc=0. However, we do
want to try to recompose those. We now check whether the second is a
mark, using general category instead.
At the same time, remove optimization that was conflicting with this.

Keeping that generated file in-tree causes problems with processes like
tinderbox that automatically fetch and build harfbuzz. It's harder to
bootstrap harfbuzz now (as was previously), but I'm willing to give this
another chance and see how it goes.
