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/...
This sequence: U+120B,U+135F,U+120B with the Nyala font from Win7
exposes a GPOS bug in Uniscribe, in that the positioned mark is wrongly
moved as a result a following kern.
This is the one "failure" in the Ethiopic test suite :-).
ETHIOPIC: 118900 out of 118901 tests passed. 1 failed (0.000841036%)
With FreeSerif, it seems that the 'ccmp' feature does ligature
substituttions. That was then causing syllable match failures. We now
find syllables before any features have been applied.
Test sequence: U+0D9A,U+0DCA,U+200D,U+0DBB,U+0DCF
After we implemented dotted-circle, we were still ignoring any tests
that had dottedcircle in it for any of the shapers. That meant that if
we wrongly outputted dottedcircle, the test was being ignored. Ouch!
Fixing that shows regressions across the board. Most are Uniscribe
bugs: NOT inserting dotted-circle when it should. Some are arou
machine bugs. This is in fact a nice way to catch Indic-machine
deficiencies and when I fix the regressions, our clusters should be
much closer to Uniscribe. For now, we regressed from:

Investigating.
The d1d69ec52e change broke Kannada badly,
since it was ligating consonants, pushing matra out, and then ligating
with the matra. Adjust for that. See comments.
This commit: a3313e5400 broke MarkMarkPos
when one of the marks itself is a ligature. That regressed 26 Tibetan
tests (up from zero!). Fix that. Tibetan back to zero.
The font is forming a post-base consonant in some samples, and Uniscribe
positions top matra on the post-base. Do the same.
Gurmukhi failures down from 59 to 41 (0.0674242%).
Uniscribe is buggy and sometimes /eats/ a mark next to a non-joiner.
Most of Malayalam failures where actually hitting this bug.
Ignore test output with two zero-width space glyphs. This is a hack
until we build up the test suite infrastructure better.
Bengali went down by 9, Devanagari by 2, Kannada by 130, Malayalm down

The sequence Ra,H,Ya in Bengali is ambigious and Unicode encoded that to
get Ya-Phalaa, one would place ZWJ before Halant. Ie. a ZWJ,H sequence
requests subjoining, while a H,ZWJ requests Half form. Implement that.
Bengali failures go down from 377 to 297 (0.0838308%).
Gujarati is down by 4 to 17 (0.0046384%).
Kannada is down by 226 to 957 (0.100534%).

In Khmer coeng model, a V,Ra can go *after* matras. If it goes after a
split matra, it should be reordered to *before* the left part of such matra.
Khmer failures down from 136 to 39 (0.0130381%).
Apparently if there is C,V,ZWJ,C, the first C will be base, but if
it's C,ZWJ,V,C, the second one will be.
Note that Uniscribe implements this differently, by breaking syllable in
the case of C,ZWJ,V,C and putting the first consonant in one syllable
and the rest in the next syllable.
Sinhala failures down from 208 to 158 (0.0581209%). No changes to
Khmer.
Sinhala does not have half forms. And most (all?) consonants can be
base, except when preceded by ZWJ, which would request a subjoined form.
Hence switch the base algorithm to categorize with Khmer, start search
at start, and stop at a ZWJ.
Also, mark all pos=base consonants after base to be subjoined. Mark
base itself to have pos=base.
Finally, adjust Sinhala's reph position to after-main.
Brings down Sinhala failures from 455 to 328 (0.120656%).
If, say, a H,ZWJ,C ligature was formed, we don't want the code to detec
that as a Halant. So, ignore ligatures when matching category in
final_reordering.
Sinhala failures down from 514 to 455 (0.167374%).
Uniscribe reorders U+0E3A to be after U+0E38 and U+0E39. We do that by
modifying the ccc for U+0E3A.
Fixes the two remaining Thai failures (see previous commit).
Adjust the list of marks before SARA AM that get the reordering
treatment. Also adjust cluster formation to match Uniscribe.
With Wikipedia test data, now I see:
- For Thai, with the Angsana New font from Win7, I see 54 failures out
of over 4M tests (0.00129107%). Of the 54, two are legitimate
reordering issues (fix coming soon), and the other 52 are simply
Uniscribe using a zero-width space char instead of an unknown
character for missing glyphs. No idea why. The missing-glyph
sequences include one that is a Thai character followed by an Arabic
Sokun. Someone confused it with Nikhahit I assume!
- For Lao, with the Dokchampa font from Win7, 33 tests fail out of
54k (0.0615167%). All seem to be insignificant mark positioning
with two marks on a base. Have to investigate.
In Sinhala, Rakar is formed by Al-Lakuna,ZWJ,Ra. If you put that at the
end of a Consonant,Matra syllable, you get a dotted-circle from
Uniscribe. Apparently adding a ZWJ before the Al-Lakuna "fixes" that.
And people have been encoding that sequence... So, allow a forced
"ZWJ,Virama,ZWJ,Ra" sequence at the of syllables.
Fixes some 100 or more of Sinhala failures. Now at 622 only (0.23%).
POS_BASE can disappear if base ligated backward. Define base as last
with position not after base.
Fixes a few hundred of Sinhala failures with Iskoola Pota.
Mark stuff after a pre-base reordering Ro 'cfar'. Used in Khmer.
This allows distinguishing the following cases with MS Khmer fonts:
U+1784,U+17D2,U+179A,U+17D2,U+1782
U+1784,U+17D2,U+1782,U+17D2,U+179A
In Khmer, a final subjoined consonant or independent vowel can occur
after matras. This final subjoined thing should NOT be reordered to
before the matra even though it's subjoined.
Fixes another 1k of the Khmer failures. Not much left really.
Amend the syllable structure to allow a final subscripted consonant
(Coeng+C) and a final subscripted independent vowel (Coeng+V).
Fixes another 2k of Khmer failures.
Normally, we attach the Halant to the previous character and move it
with it. For after-base consonants however, the Halant "belongs" to the
consonant after, so attach it so.
This fixes Bengali sequences involving post-base consonant Ya, which
should ligate with the Halant to form Ya Phala, but previously a
reordered matras was blocking the ligation.
Seems like this is what Uniscribe is doing, and does not break any fonts
we tested (with Devanagari, Malayalam, Khmer, and Bengali), while fixing
some Ra Phala sequences for Bengali with Vrinda. Fixes another 2% of
Bengali failures (a couple more to go).
