Morning, I just committed a patch [1] to Pango to support OpenType for "basic" shaping engine. Accidentally, that's the shaper used for the Latin script, as well as many others. This means, with OpenType fonts, you are now hitting a new codepath. Expect it to be a bit slower than the old heuristic.
Now *that* is a good thing. Happy optimizing the OpenType code :). Just a small note: We are cooperating with Qt to share the OpenType codebase. For that purpose, most of the code in pango/opentype/ has been copied into a new repository, under the name HarfBuzz [2]. Right now the code in HarfBuzz and Pango are exactly the same, but that will change soon to make it suitable for Qt. So, at this time, I'm making sure that all improvements to the Pango OpenType code is also applied to HarfBuzz. Please keep me informed about any change you make in that directory.
