* Shape the Universal Shaping Engine's scripts as HarfBuzz doeseunhhu2026-09-281-0/+501
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The USE shaper, from HarfBuzz 10.2's source, for Sinhala, Tibetan, Javanese, Balinese, Mongolian and the rest of its eighty-odd scripts (and Indic fonts with the new dev3-style tags). The syllable machine reads past CGJs and ZWNJs that marks follow; rphf goes on each syllable's first glyphs and records the repha it made, pref records its pre-base glyph, with substitution marks cleared between; a repha moves before the first post-base glyph and pre-base vowels move back. Scripts that join like Arabic take Arabic's forms (Mongolian's free variation selectors their base's), the others join syllable to syllable. Marks lose their advances before GPOS. text/syllabic.py carries HarfBuzz's compressed USE table over as it is, compiles the USE grammar with the others (100,000 random runs against Ragel's machine: no syllable differs), and checks at compile time that the categories syllabic.h names are the machines' own. Noto Sans Sinhala, Javanese, Balinese, Mongolian, Noto Serif Tibetan, FreeSerif's Sinhala and Unifont's five shape as HarfBuzz does at 5,000 runs a plan; all installed fonts (1,748 plans) and 21 Noto fonts too.
* Shape the nine Indic scripts as HarfBuzz doeseunhhu2026-09-281-0/+463
The Indic shaper, from HarfBuzz 10.2's source: syllables found by the Indic machine; each syllable's base consonant, its pre-base matras and reph moved around it and masked for the basic features, applied one at a time within the syllable; then matras, reph and pre-base-reordering consonants placed again by what the features made. Vowel constraints, Indic decompositions and compositions, dotted circles for broken syllables, and per-syllable matching come with it. Plans carry GSUB pauses (steps where the shaper does its part) and the stages of the features the shaper asks whether they would substitute; the runtime answers with each subtable's would_apply, as HarfBuzz does. Masks are now the common ones and each shaper's own. text/syllabic.py reads HarfBuzz's Ragel grammars (Indic, Khmer, Myanmar) and compiles each to a minimal DFA with Ragel's scanner semantics; beside the machines Ragel generated from the same grammars, 100,000 random runs each find no syllable that differs. It also reads HarfBuzz's Indic table (Unicode 16) cell for cell. Every installed font shapes as HarfBuzz does (213 fonts, 1,688 plans); the Indic ones at 20,000 runs a plan (FreeSerif's eight scripts, FreeSans, Unifont's nine without GSUB), and nine new-spec Noto Sans fonts at 5,000.
