HarfBuzz in Fedora 12?

[Petr Tomasek <tomasek etf cuni cz>]

Hello!

I've installed Fedora 12 + the syriac Meltho fonts(*), however the
shaping is totally wrong (with all: pango based programs like gedit or
abiword and ICU based applications like OOo and XeTeX).

The fonts appear, but apparently no shaping is involved - the letters are
not connected and the punctuation is not placed to the right position. 

I wonder, whether in Fedora 12 the new HarfBuzz is used or not.
I am little confused about this blog entry:

(Also, would older / non-OTF version of the font help? I remember
In some previous version of pango the syriac displayed OK...)

Thank You,
Petr Tomasek
