True, but if one is interested in separate glyphs only, harfbuzz isn't needed at all. And while it is possible to get a bounding box + origin offset on a shaped string without spanners, I'm sure it's way simpler and faster with them. Besides one would have to write a blitter of some sort to put the individual glyph bitmaps into the right positions, which is on par with writing spanners in terms of effort. -- ./lxnt _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
