Talking to Ryan Lortie, he thinks my comment doesn't make sense.
So I'm making the getter const. Note that g_atomic_int_get()
casts that away itself, so we don't need to worry about that
(which kinda makes me uncomfortable actually).
I was reconsidering whether y should grow down, since all three/four
times I've used this API I was tricked and got that wrong in my use.
So I was very inclined to make y grow down instead of up. However,
considering that the font space has y up and it would be very confusing
for callbacks to work against that, I decided that what I really want
is for the user to be able to set y_scale to a negative number to imply
that user-space y grows down.
Changing x_scale/y_scale from unsigned int to int allows that, and I've
made pango to use that instead of negating glyph y_offset later. hb-ft
however still has y group up. I *guess* that's how FreeType works?
I'm not sure, FreeType docs don't make this clear...
I'm happy with the resolution :-).
The idea here is that:
- Like pretty much all other API in harfbuzz, user does not have to
check for NULL.
- In any caller code, the case of missing table should be handled
exactly the same way that a too-short table is handled. Turning
a non-existent talbe into a table of size 0 makes the user code
safer.
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!
Unicode data providers can now be subclassed, including support for
chain-up. The interface should now be nicely bindable, as well.
Also fix glib unicode funcs that where broken after hb_script_t
changes. Nicely caught by the test-unicode.c added in this commit.
This includes HB_DIRECTION_INVALID and HB_SCRIPT_INVALID.
The INVALID will cause a "guess whatever from the text" in hb_shape().
While it's not ideal, it works better than the previous defaults at
least (HB_DIRECTION_LTR and HB_SCRIPT_COMMON).
