Hi Guys,

I have noticed that HB_ShaperItem (or HB_ShaperItem_) has an object 
HB_ScriptItem contains position and length field. My understanding this would 
allow the HarfBuzz adaptation layer to specify only a subset of the of string 
(passed to the shaper) to be actually shaped.

Why is this feature implemented ? is there any situation\language where 
HarfBuzz needs to know the broader context of the string to be shaped (e.g. 
look at the characters before or after the string) ?


Regards,
Jamil
