[HarfBuzz] [Docs] Cluster soap box time

I think the clean-up that I just did to the "clusters" usermanual chapter improves things, but it did also reveal where there's some additional room for growth. For a couple of those, I would really appreciate some suggestions. In particular, I'd like to hear any recommendations from the list for

[HarfBuzz] Clusters chapter

Hiyo. I'm revisiting the 'clusters' chapter in the User Manual, to make it more consistent with the rest and hopefully easier to understand. Rereading it has raised some questions 1) The opening sentence says "a cluster is a sequence of code points [...]" ...which might be true for the initia

[HarfBuzz] [docs] Design decisions

As many of you know, I'm working on writing & fixing up documentation for the next few months. One of the big pieces (among several) is the high-level, read-me-first User Manual content type. [In contrast to, for example, detailed symbol references]. I've decided that we need a short section that

[HarfBuzz] [docs][question] Emoji "shaping", etc.

Kind of a high-level question about describing HB functionality Would you consider the handling of emoji variation-selector sequences to be "shaping", or some other operation? Feels like kind of a gray area to me; when it comes to describing what HarfBuzz does and what the use cases are that

Hi everybody, As was alluded to on the list / issue tracker several months ago, I am the contractor who is going to be working on HarfBuzz documentation as part of the project's MOSS grant from Mozilla. (It was a while ago; to be honest we were caught a little off guard by how quickly the proposa

[HarfBuzz] Documenting OpenType shaping

Hi everyone, I've been working on a set of specification-like documents that describe how OpenType Layout works, specifically for shaping complex scripts. It's not quite complete yet, but we'd appreciate any and all feedback that the community can provide. The repository is here: https://github.c

[HarfBuzz] Another random Old-Hangul question

I've found another thing I'm unclear on. The MS docs say that Old Korean text may use a sequence of individual jamo instead of the combo-consonant/vowel jamo, so you'd encounter sequences like "L,L,V,T,T,T" -- where the "L,L" and the "T,T,T" get turned into Old Hangul jamo codepoints by the `ccmp`

[HarfBuzz] Old Korean T jamo that don't conjoin?

Hi, I'm trying to understand a comment in the source for the Hangul shaper. Line 155; after denoting the various jamo blocks, it says "Only sequences for T in U+11A8..11C3 combine." Why is that? The T jamo extend down to U+11FF (all still in the main jamo block). More importantly, perhaps, I c
