HarfBuzz does
The planner now picks who positions as HarfBuzz 10.2 does: GPOS, the old
kern table when GPOS has no kern feature, and marks placed by combining
class and ink boxes when there is no GPOS; the Hangul shaper composes
syllables the font has whole, takes apart those it lacks into jamo for
ljmo, vjmo and tjmo, and moves tone marks before their syllable.
The section grows to an 80-byte header (the kern table, and each glyph's
ink box when a plan places marks without GPOS) and 88-byte plans (the
kern mask, the jamo masks). Kern tables are applied pair subtable by
pair subtable with HarfBuzz's own binary search; state machines, class
subtables and cross-stream kerning, which no installed font has, are
refused. The check spells Hangul syllables every way text does.
Every installed font Vega accepts shapes as HarfBuzz does (209 fonts,
1,520 plans, a thousand runs each), and the fonts refused before at
20,000 runs a plan: Noto Sans CJK KR and Baekmuk for Hangul, IPA Gothic
and Noto Mono for marks without GPOS, FreeSans, FreeSerif, Liberation
and DejaVu Sans ExtraLight for kern tables, Unifont's Latin, Greek,
Cyrillic, Hebrew and Hangul.

The build tool compiles a font's shaping plans the way HarfBuzz's planner
does (features, stages, masks, lookups per script and direction) and
carries them with the font's character map, advances and GDEF, GSUB and
GPOS tables in a section of the symbol file (VEGASYM4); glyphs shaping
reaches become symbols of their own. A small engine ports HarfBuzz 10's
default, Arabic and Hebrew shaping step for step and reads the tables in
place, every read bounds-checked. The build refuses a file whose shaping
differs from HarfBuzz's on random runs: DejaVu Sans agrees on 600,000
runs in six scripts both ways, and every installed font the tool accepts
agrees too, at 1.05-1.18 times HarfBuzz's time.
