We were not initializing the digests properly and as a result they were
being initialized to zero, making digest1 to never do any useful work.
Speeds up Amiri shaping significantly.
See thread "an issue regarding discrepancy between Korean and Unicode
standards" on the mailing list for the rationale. In short: Uniscribe
doesn't, so fonts are designed to work without it.
Testing shows that this is closer to what Uniscribe does.
Reported by Khaled Hosny:
"""
commit 568000274c
...
This commit is causing a regression with Amiri, the string “هَٰذ” with
Uniscribe and HarfBuzz before this commit, gives:
[uni0630.fina=3+965|uni0670.medi=0+600|uni064E=0@-256,0+0|uni0647.init=0+926]
But now it gives:
[uni0630.fina=3+965|uni0670.medi=0+0|uni064E=0@-256,0+0|uni0647.init=0+926]
i.e. uni0670.medi is zeroed though it has a base glyph GDEF class.
"""
The test case is U+0647,U+064E,U+0670,U+0630 with Amiri.
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:

That flag is redundant, deprecated, and ignored since April 2011.
From FreeType git log:

Always ignore global advance.
This makes FT_LOAD_IGNORE_GLOBAL_ADVANCE_WIDTH redundant,
deprecated, and ignored. The new behavior is what every major user
of FreeType has been requesting. Global advance is broken in many
CJK fonts. Just ignoring it by default makes most sense.

I added these because the older mingw32 toolchain didn't have
MemoryBarrier(). The newer mingw-w64 toolchain however has.
As reported by John Emmas this was causing build failure with
MSVC (on glib) because of inline issues. But that reminded me
that we may be taking this path even if the system implements
MemoryBarrier as a function, which is a waste. So, just remove
it.
Before, we were marking them as below-form for initial reordering.
However, there is a rule that says "post consonants should follow
below consonsnts" for base determination purposes. Malayalam has
port-form YA/VA, and RA is pre-base. As such, for a sequence like
YA,Virama,YA,Virama,RA, the correct base is at index 0. But
because the code was seeing RA as a below-base, it was stopping at
the second YA as base, instead of jumping it as a post-base.
By treating prebase-reordering consonants like post-forms, this
is fixed.

Such fonts are *definitely* really broken. Give up.
Limits time spent in sanitize for extremely / deliberately broken
fonts. For example, two fonts with these md5sum / names:
9343f0a1b8c84b8123e7d201cae62ffd.ttf
eb8c978547f09d368fc204194fb34688.ttf
were spending over a second in sanitize! Not anymore.
This fixes a design bug with sanitize and sub-blobs that can
cause crashes. Jonathan and I found and debugged this issue
when we tested a corrupt font with the md5sum / filename:
ea395483d37af0cb933f40689ff7b60a. Two hours of intense
debugging we found out that the font has overlapping GSUB/GPOS
tables, and as such, sanitizing the second table can modify
the first one, which can cause all kinds of undefined behavior.
The correct way to fix this is to make sure sub-blobs are
always created readonly, since we consider the parent blob
to be a shared resource and can't modify it, even if it *is*
writable.
This essentially makes the READONLY_MAY_MAKE_WRITABLE mode
unused... Maybe we should simply remove / deprecate it.
