I have Harfbuzz working well and can generate shaped Arabic text. The output of Harfbuzz (and FreeType) is a set of glyphs IDs together with full positioning and glyph/metric data. With Arabic, many of the glyphs may not have a corresponding Unicode character value --- i.e., they are "visual forms" and not encoded in Unicode. I use OpenType fonts exclusively. So, I guess my question is: Can PoDoFo take a set of glyph IDs and positions/metrics and use that to render Arabic in a PDF with a subset font? I must confess that I'm not at all a strong C++ programmer, I mostly code in C, so any suggestions on where to start with PoDoFo to output Arabic (based on the above) would be very helpful --- or if it is not possible that would be good to know."
