The new test suite runs tests included under
hb/test/shaping/tests/*.tests, which themselves reference
font files stored by sha1sum under hb/test/shaping/fonts/sha1sum.
The fonts are produced using a subsetter to only include glyphs
needed to run the test.
Four initial tests are added for (Chain)Context matching,
of which three currently fail.
After the Ngapi hackfest work, we were assuming that fonts
won't use presentation features to choose specific forms
(eg. conjuncts). As such, we were using auto-joiner behavior
for such features. It proved to be troublesome as many fonts
used presentation forms ('pres') for example to form conjuncts,
which need to be disabled when a ZWJ is inserted.
Two examples:
U+0D2F,U+200D,U+0D4D,U+0D2F with kartika.ttf
U+0995,U+09CD,U+200D,U+09B7 with vrinda.ttf
What we do now is to never do magic to ZWJ during GSUB's main input
match for Indic-style shapers. Note that backtrack/lookahead are still
matched liberally, as is GPOS. This seems to be an acceptable
compromise.
As to the bug that initially started this work, that one needs to
be fixed differently:

The code was confused because it was expecting left matra to have
POS_PRE_M, like we do in the Myanmar shaper, but that is not what
we were doing in this shaper. Rewrite to rely on category only.
Test case: U+AA06,U+AA34,U+AA2F
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.
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/...
