One of the methods an Emacs font-backend should provide is the encode_char method, which returns the glyph code of the selected font for a character given by its Unicode codepoint. For example, the XFT backend uses the XftCharIndex function for that purpose, and the Freetype backend uses FT_Get_Char_Index.
What is the best way of providing such a method with HarfBuzz on MS-Windows? One possibility is obviously to call hb_shape, but maybe there's a simpler way for a single codepoint? Btw, what does hb_font_get_glyph() return?
