Hi,
This is a few weeks old, from GUADEC, but it just occurred to me that I

Hello Behdad,
I'm little confused. You write "Next step is to ... merge the Pango and Qt shapers".
Does it mean, that pango will be obsolete then? Or just it's shapers (pango modules?).
Just the shapers. All the fc modules: basic-fc, arabic-fc, indic-fc,
hebrew-fc ..., will be replaced by a single basic-hb module. Like what we do
on win32 and atsui right now.
And what about SIL Graphite?
I thought, there was a module to bring the SIL Graphite features for fonts that
support it. Will this be impossible with the new approach?
No:
1) One still can add/install Pango modules,
2) Proper Graphite support will be added to HarfBuzz at some point.

Thanks for clarifying!
