This is a higher-priority shaper than default shaper ("ot"), but
only picks up fonts that have AAT "morx"/"mort" table.
Note that for this to work the font face's get_table() implementation
should know how to return the full font blob.
Based on patch from Konstantin Ritt.
CoreText does automatic font fallback (AKA "cascading") for characters
not supported by the requested font, and provides no way to turn it off,
so detect if the returned run uses a font other than the requested one
and fill in the buffer with .notdef glyphs instead of random indices
glyph from a different font.
Based on patch from Jonathan Kew and data from Apple.
It's not working correctly though, and I suspect I'm hitting a bug in
CoreText. When I do this:
hb-shape /Library/Fonts/Zapfino.ttf ZapfinoZapfino --shaper coretext \
--features=-liga
I expect both ligatures to turn off, but only the second one does:
[Z_a_p_f_i_n_o=0+2333|Z=7+395|a=8+285|p_f=9+433|i=11+181|n=12+261|o=13+250]
whereas if I disable 'dlig' instead of 'liga', both are turned off.
Smells...
Doesn't resolve conflicting feature settings.
Does not provide Uniscribe-compatible results, but should at least avoid
breaking hb-view due to out-of-order cluster values.
For RTL runs, ensure cluster values are non-increasing (instead of
non-decreasing).
Does not attempt to handle clusters in a Uniscribe- or HarfBuzz-compatible way;
just returns the original string indexes that CT maintains. These may even be
out-of-order in the case of reordrant glyphs.
