[HarfBuzz] Disable uniscribe backend
Hi, the Uniscribe backend doesn't work on Windows XP and unnecessarily bloats HarfBuzz on Windows. According to commit logs it only is for testing purposes anyway, so can we have an option to disable it at build time? Grigori PS: what happened to the 0.8 release and the promises of API stability? ___ HarfBuzz mailing list HarfBuzz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
Re: [HarfBuzz] Level of support for HB in existing toolkits
Hi! libnui is very far from being a major toolkit but it uses hb-ng for all the platforms (OSX, iOS, Windows, Linux) in the next revision that you can find on this branch: https://github.com/meeloo/nui3/tree/utf8 . We are currently thinking about a licensing change from GPL+Commercial to GPL+MPL in hope that people will try and use it more. Cheers, S.

Re: [HarfBuzz] Disable uniscribe backend
Hi again, here's a patch that adds a simple configure switch to select Uniscribe. I disabled Uniscribe support by default. Similar switches for ICU and glib might be handy as well.
