Accepts values like:
--features="-mkmk,aalt=2,calt=1,+cswh"
A minus sign means "=0", a plus sign means "=1". Default is "=1".
A minus sign overrides an explicit value.
Also adds --script support to hb-view.
If a script tag is not known to us, we pass the ISO 15924 tag around.
Right now, the OT layer ignores that, but we can fix it to blindly
convert that to an OT script tag.
- 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.
Add support for classic Mongolian script to the Arabic shaper.
Still work to be done around U+180E MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR as it
should not be included in the final glyph stream the same way that
ZWNJ, etc should not appear in the final glyph stream.
But the joining part should be done.
There remains the question of how should the U+18A9 MONGOLIAN LETTER ALI
GALI DAGALGA be handled as it has General Category NSM but a letter
nonetheless. For now, our generic logic makes this a joining T instead
of joining D as other Mongolian letters are.
We should ensure-direction before doing any complex work. The only
exception is mirroring that needs to see the original / final direction,
not the native. Handle that.
Mandaic was added to Unicode 6.0, but the joining data was not updated.
Draft ArabicShaping.txt from 6.1 includes the joining data for Mandaic.
Use that.
