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/...
To be used for a variety of purposes. We save up to five characters
in each direction. No public API changes, everything is taken care
of already. All clients need to do is to call hb_buffer_add_utf* with
the full text + segment info (or at least some context) instead of
just passing in the segment.
Various operations (hb_buffer_reset, hb_buffer_set_length,
hb_buffer_add*) automatically reset the relevant contexts.
Apparently even that doesn't make check-internal-symbols.sh happy with
mingw32. Going to disable that for DLLs again, but hopefully the
export-file is doing *something*.
This reorders glyphs within the cluster to a nominal order. This should
have no visible effect on the output, but helps with testing, for
getting the same hb-shape output for visually-equal glyphs for each
cluster.
Users should #include <hb.h> (or hb-ft.h, hb-glib.h, etc), but
never things like hb-shape.h directly. This makes it easier to
refactor headers later on without breaking compatibility.
For two reasons:
1. User can always call hb_buffer_pre_allocate() themselves, and
2. Now we do a pre_alloc in add_utfX anyway, so the total number of
reallocs is limited to a small number (~3) anyway. This just makes the
API cleaner.
hb_shape() now accepts a shaper_options and a shaper_list argument.
Both can be set to NULL to emulate previous API. And in most situations
they are expected to be set to NULL.
hb_shape() also returns a boolean for now. If shaper_list is NULL, the
return value can be ignored.
shaper_options is ignored for now, but otherwise it should be a
NULL-terminated list of strings.
shaper_list is a NULL-terminated list of strings. Currently recognized
strings are "ot" for native OpenType Layout implementation, "uniscribe"
for the Uniscribe backend, and "fallback" for the non-complex backend
(that will be implemented shortly). The fallback backend never fails.
The env var HB_SHAPER_LIST is also parsed and honored. It's a
colon-separated list of shaper names. The fallback shaper is invoked if
none of the env-listed shapers succeed.
New API hb_buffer_guess_properties() added.
This was a bizzare piece of API that I inherited from cairo. It has
been wrong adding them to cairo in the first place. Remove them before
someone uses them!
