And my recommendation is the opposite (of course). Please do package with
graphite so that pango will 'just work' with graphite fonts. It's not a big
cost, and it is no less portable than having harfbuzz depend on glib, despite
Behdad's warnings that if you link to graphite the world will come to an end :)
Could you explain why you think that linking against libgraphite2 is
non-portable? Perhaps you could remove this warning? Graphite2 builds in all
environments that TeX Live and Firefox do. And we would be more than happy to
ensure that Graphite builds in all contexts that harfbuzz does.
Yours,
Martin
PS. Here's my current dependencies on a typical system build of harfbuzz:
ldd /usr/local/lib/libharfbuzz.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff005be000)
libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0
(0x00007fcb4ce70000)
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
(0x00007fcb4cb7b000)
libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6
(0x00007fcb4c8de000)
libgraphite2.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libgraphite2.so.3
(0x00007fcb4c6aa000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fcb4c2eb000)
libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6
(0x00007fcb4c0e2000)
libpcre.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3 (0x00007fcb4bea5000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007fcb4bc88000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007fcb4ba7f000)
libz.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0x00007fcb4b868000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fcb4d3bb000)
which raises questions as to why some of those are in the list (libpcre, libz).
and (FWIW) here's graphite's:
ldd /usr/local/lib/libgraphite2.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff2bbff000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fdc14080000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fdc146a6000)
