I'd love to help in getting that last piece in place.

I filed a similar bug against HarfBuzz.  Apologies for not checking in
Pango's issue tracker first; since the bug was in the lower-level
library I didn't think to check Pango as well.

Much of the proposal in the second email was designed to deal with the
improper ordering of features described in those bug reports.  If the
bugs can be closed, then the complexities described in the second
email (written before I had learned of this bug) largely vanish.

I'm very interested in getting this feature implemented in Inkscape,
and of course that process starts with Pango. Let me know how I can
help.
