hi!
I'm trying to spike what would be best approach to render text using XRender + FreeType + some helper library to do gpos kerning / complex scripts etc. After some initial research I figured out that if you do more than just latin or cyrillic it's quite complex task and I'd like to use harfbuzz and/or pango for shaping.

Qs:

  • Are you going to publish pre-built harffbuzz-js to npm?
  • do you have any examples of how to use harffbuzz-js?
  • do you want to try build binary node-harffbuzz module (if not, I might try myself)?
  • do you know any emscripten compiled FT I can use? (I'm currently using https://github.com/sidorares/node-freetype2 fork of node-freetype2 ro render glyphs)
