HARFBUZZ
OpenType text shaping engine for complex scripts

ABOUT
Unicode plus a font is not enough for Arabic, Indic, ligatures, or emoji. HarfBuzz shapes OpenType so apps place glyphs correctly instead of drawing one code point per glyph.
INSTALL
brew install harfbuzzINTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Shape Arabic or Indic text in a native UI
2. Apply OpenType ligatures and kerning in a design tool
3. Render emoji sequences with a color font
4. Link HarfBuzz with FreeType in a game or document renderer
