It is rather confusing to have script, language etc, in hb-common section
while feature is in hb-shape section. I keep looking for it in hb-common
section then using the API index because I can’t find it there.
New version has axis flags.
New API:
+hb_ot_var_axis_info_t
+hb_ot_var_find_axis_info()
+hb_ot_var_get_axis_infos()
Deprecated API:
-HB_OT_VAR_NO_AXIS_INDEX
-hb_ot_var_axis_t
-hb_ot_var_find_axis()
-hb_ot_var_get_axes()
This is like hb_script_t.
We had this exposed as unsigned int since 2.0.0 release in two APIs,
as well as hb_ot_layout_get_size_params() from earlier.
But since no one uses those (right?!), let's just fix this now.
* hb_ot_layout_feature_get_characters
* hb_ot_layout_feature_get_name_ids
However HarfBuzz currently doesn't expose an API for retrieving the actual
information associated with NameId from the `name` table and that should be
done separately.
The old hb-ot-tag.cc functions, `hb_ot_tags_from_script` and
`hb_ot_tag_from_language`, are now wrappers around a new function:
`hb_ot_tags`. It converts a script and a language to arrays of script
tags and language tags. This will make it easier to add new script tags
to scripts, like 'dev3'. It also allows for language fallback chains;
nothing produces more than one language yet though.
Where the old functions return the default tags 'DFLT' and 'dflt',
`hb_ot_tags` returns an empty array. The caller is responsible for
using the default tag in that case.
The new function also adds a new private use subtag syntax for script
overrides: "x-hbscabcd" requests a script tag of 'abcd'.
The old hb-ot-layout.cc functions,`hb_ot_layout_table_choose_script` and
`hb_ot_layout_script_find_language` are now wrappers around the new
functions `hb_ot_layout_table_select_script` and
`hb_ot_layout_script_select_language`. They are essentially the same as
the old ones plus a tag count parameter.
Closes#495.
Unused as of now. To be wired up to normalizer, which would remove
overhead and allow hb-ot-font initialization to become a no-op, so
we can enable it by default.
This new API returns cvXX and ssXX related NameId, things like
featUiLabelNameId, featUiTooltipTextNameId, sampleTextNameId, ... of cvXX
and UINameId of ssXX, in a unified way.
However HarfBuzz currently doesn't expose an API for retrieving the actual
information associated with NameId from the `name` table and that should be
