hb_shape() now accepts a shaper_options and a shaper_list argument.
Both can be set to NULL to emulate previous API. And in most situations
they are expected to be set to NULL.
hb_shape() also returns a boolean for now. If shaper_list is NULL, the
return value can be ignored.
shaper_options is ignored for now, but otherwise it should be a
NULL-terminated list of strings.
shaper_list is a NULL-terminated list of strings. Currently recognized
strings are "ot" for native OpenType Layout implementation, "uniscribe"
for the Uniscribe backend, and "fallback" for the non-complex backend
(that will be implemented shortly). The fallback backend never fails.
The env var HB_SHAPER_LIST is also parsed and honored. It's a
colon-separated list of shaper names. The fallback shaper is invoked if
none of the env-listed shapers succeed.
New API hb_buffer_guess_properties() added.
I've messed up a lot of stuff recently, different parts of the
shaping process are stumbling on eachother's toes because
manually tracking what's in which buffer var is hard. I'm
going to add some internal API to track those such that mistakes
are discovered as soon as they are introduced.
Instead of always applying those two features before the complex shaper,
let the complex shaper decide whether they should be applied first.
Also add stub for Indic's final_reordering().
Add compose() and decompose() unicode funcs. These implement
pair-wise canonical composition/decomposition.
The glib/icu implementations are lacking for now. We are adding
API for this to glib, but I cannot find any useful API in ICU.
May end of implementing these in-house.
Changed all unicode_funcs callback names to remove the "_get" part.
Eg, hb_unicode_get_script_func_t is now hb_unicode_script_func_t,
and hb_unicode_get_script() is hb_unicode_script() now.
Wow, it took me a few days to find the right fix!
We now set the advance for attached marks to zero, but we
do this in the _finish() state of gpos, so it shouldn't
regress with fonts like DejaVuSansMono that explicitly
decrease the mark advance width to set it to zero.
We need to know whether the glyph exists, so we can fallback to
composing / decomposing. Assuming that glyph==0 means "doesn't exist"
wouldn't work for applications like Pango that want to use different
"doesn't exist" glyph codes for different characters. An explicit
return value fixes that.
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.
