Hi all, Those paying attention may have noticed that hb-view got quite a lift:
- hb-view now has a full --help output and reworked options (major break was changing --output to --output-file), - hb-view can generate PDF, PS, EPS, and SVG now, assuming your cairo supports these, - The --text-file and --font-file (or its implicit substitutes) can be "-" for stdin. And both stdin and stdout functions work on Windows too (this was a challenge to make work!) - Of note, also, is the --shapers option. If you pass only one shaper to --shapers and that shaper fails, hb-view will fail. Note: There's still problems reading Unicode text from the command-line arguments. You can use --text-file to work around that. Moreover, there is now an hb-shape binary also, which outputs shape results in a (cryptic) human-readable way. I plan to add more verbose formats as well as JSON and XML too. But for now, this is how it looks like: <uni0905=0+1602|uni092C=3+1228|uni0942=3@1,-174> That is: - Glyphs are separated using '|' - The cluster value comes after '=' - If there's X or Y offset, they come after '@' - If there is advance, they come after '+'. Maybe I should change this one to '>' or something. There are options to disable outputing the cluster value or the positions, or use glyph indices instead of glyph names. Finally, there is a Python program called hb-diff, which can compare the output of hb-shape from two different backends and visualize the differences colorfully. Give it a try! So, as you can see, I'm much closer o having a measurable definition of Indic correctness. Preliminary results look promising.
