I'm trying to implement Uniscribe for Linux to display complex text, such as Arabic. It seems a huge task to do.

What I need to do is to implement the APIs below:

  1. Check if the string is Complex.
  2. Get string width.
  3. Get next segment.
  4. Get next break.
  5. ...

I want to use/refer to open source code to do it.

I have read HarfBuzz source code for weeks, but didn't get the APIs for them. Is it feasible to use ONLY HarfBuzz to implement them? It seems I should use Pango, but I can't do it due to its license. Is there any substitution? MIT license is OK.

Is ICU helpful to me?

  • The question seems a bit broad (to me). Maybe start with [uniscribe linux site:github.com](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=uniscribe+linux+site:github.com) – jww Nov 13 '19 at 07:47
