In hb_ot_tag_from_language(), if first component of an unknown
language is three letters long, use it directly as OpenType language
tag (after case conversion and padding).
Can be -1 for NUL-terminated string. This is useful for passing parts
of a larger string to a function without having to copy or modify the
string first.
Affected functions:
hb_tag_t hb_tag_from_string()
hb_direction_from_string()
hb_language_from_string()
hb_script_from_string()
For two reasons:
1. User can always call hb_buffer_pre_allocate() themselves, and
2. Now we do a pre_alloc in add_utfX anyway, so the total number of
reallocs is limited to a small number (~3) anyway. This just makes the
API cleaner.
Remove hb_ft_get_font_funcs() as it cannot be used by the user anyway.
Add hb_ft_font_set_funcs(). Which will make the font internally use
FreeType. That is, no need for the font to have created using the
hb-ft API. Just create using hb_face_create()/hb_font_create() and
then call this on the font (after having set font scale). This
internally creates an FT_Face and attached to the font.
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.
Old HarfBuzz test suite always shaped as left-to-right and hence had wrong
0x14db, direction expected glyphstring for N'ko. Doh!
Failures down from 92 to 88.
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.
