Previously, we expected users to provide BOT/EOT flags when the
text *segment* was at paragraph boundaries. This meant that for
clients that provide full paragraph to HarfBuzz (eg. Pango), they
had code like this:
hb_buffer_set_flags (hb_buffer,
(item_offset == 0 ? HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT : 0) |
(item_offset + item_length == paragraph_length ?
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT : 0));
hb_buffer_add_utf8 (hb_buffer,
paragraph_text, paragraph_length,
item_offset, item_length);
After this change such clients can simply say:
hb_buffer_set_flags (hb_buffer,
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT | HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT);
hb_buffer_add_utf8 (hb_buffer,
paragraph_text, paragraph_length,
item_offset, item_length);
Ie, HarfBuzz itself checks whether the segment is at the beginning/end
of the paragraph. Clients that only pass item-at-a-time to HarfBuzz
continue not setting any flags whatsoever.
Another way to put it is: if there's pre-context text in the buffer,
HarfBuzz ignores the BOT flag. If there's post-context, it ignores
EOT flag.
The table can now compile independently too. If we cannot make it work
on MSVC, we can always generate the data and distribute it.
The code now compiles cleanly with:
gcc -c -xc -std=c99 -Werror -pedantic hb-ot-shape-complex-arabic-win1256.hh
g++ -c -xc -std=c++1x -Werror -pedantic hb-ot-shape-complex-arabic-win1256.hh

Bug 1045139 - The Arabic text with "MS Sans Serif" font is rendered bad
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1045139
This is only enabled on Windows platforms, and requires support from
Uniscribe to work. But for clients that do hook up to Uniscribe, this
fixes shaping of Windows-1256-encoded bitmap fonts like "MS Sans Serif".
The code and table together have just less than a 1kb footprint when
enabled.
UNTESTED. I might even have broken regular Arabic fallback shaping.
Seems to be what Uniscribe does.
At this point I think it's work checking our default...
Fixes Bug 76767 - Zeroing of advance of 2nd component of multiple
substitution with SBL Hebrew
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76767
Micro-test added.
Looks like Unsicribe responds to the 'mymr' tag by zeroing marks
GDEF_LATE instead of generic-shaper UNICODE_LATE. Implement that.
Fixes
Bug 81775 - Incorrect Rendering with harfbuzz-ng myanmar unicode
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81775
Micro-test added based on Padauk.
Follows the order of the Arabic/Syriac specs. Also don't stop
between rlig and calt in non-Arabic scripts.
Micro-tests for Arabic and Mongolian added for the latter.
