I think it is OK to remove that fallback code. That fallback code is only useful to render old Hangul characters with incapable Hangul fonts. It is a very rare case and it can be handled better by font. > If it *is* needed still, can you offer any help? I have a plan for > implementing such fallback shapers but appreciate a helping hand. I think the better solution is to improve the fonts. I am thinking about starting a project to improve Hangul fonts. > PS. Are you subscribed to the HarfBuzz list? Subscribed!
