Hello, I'm evaluating pango and harfbuzz to use with javafx and I have a couple questions:
1) Advance typographic features (i.e http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-fonts/#font-rend-props) In pango I was only able to find support for small caps (in PangoVariant) In harfbuzz, hb_shape() takes an array of hb_features_t. I suppose any feature available in the font can be selected using harfbuzz ? Is that right, or am I missing something ? 2) glyph advances Is there any difference between glyph advances produced harfbuzz and pango ? I would like, if possible, to use linear (non-hinted) advances. Note that I started with pango since it provides a complete solution including -itemizer (not mandatory for me) -shaper -font fallback (I think) -glyph metrics (xMax, yMax, xMin, yMin) -glyph images -glyph outlines Turns out that for most of what I'm doing I also need either cairo or freetype to work with pango. I'm not 100% on this one, but using cairo does not provide anything extra (as it seems cairo uses freetype). So instead of using pango+cairo or (pango+freetype) I could directly use freetype (for glyph images/outlines/metrics) and harfbuzz (for shaping complex text). Please advise. Thank you Felipe
