the ICU LE library is (as I understand it ) what is comparable, and thus replaceable by, HarfBuzz. the LX library does text segmentation, bidi, etc. - and this depends on the ICU services. > From reading your ticket I realize that Paragraph Layout uses other ICU > services, but are there any ways to do what paragraph layout does with what’s > available in HarfBuzz? No, HarfBuzz is a lower level library. > Or are there any lightweight libraries that can do it? Hm - may I ask what some of the issues are with ICU itself? If it is size, there's a lot you can do. You can use the data customizer to reduce the data size. You can static link with just the functions you need. On the other hand, seeing as you are on iOS, it might be possible to implement layoutex using core text services.
