I'm not clear how much better HarfBuzz is from a dependency point of view
I think harfbuzz-ng (the recent re-write) is much better. It appears to only
have one hard dependency: ragel (http://www.complang.org/ragel/). All others
are optional (like freetype, ICU, cairo) but of course many of these optional
ones are already Mapnik dependencies.
- it is still built on top of GLib so looks much the same to me from that point
of view.
Harfbuzz-ng appears to only use glib for atomics/mutexs on linux, and instead
uses osx and windows specific stuff for threading.
Ah right, I had just looked at configure to see what it was probing for.
If it only uses GLib on Linux then that sounds promising.
