Example on how to draw with this

[sandmor]

So, I never use harfbuzz and I'm a bit lost about how to use this and integrate with ttf-parser or rusttype, can you provide an example of using this to draw non-latin text, I'm talking of an example with tiny-skia, ttf-parser and this or something that you want.
Thank you in advance

Yes, I've planned to write such example. It would be a bit rudimentary, because font fallback and emojis must be handled by the caller, but other than that it should be fine.

I have a terrible, awful repo up at https://git.xobs.io/xobs/rust-font-test that you're welcome to steal from. That repository is an experiment in memory usage and rendering.

It uses rusttype for rendering.

It even renders emoji properly, and does a decent job of Arabic.

@xobs Thank you

When I call shape, should the GlyphPositions I get back have y_offset set to something other than zero? Mine are all zero. I'm just trying to draw a simple string with this and ab_glyph. And I can't figure out how to shift the glyphs in the Y dimension.

[khaledhosny]

y_offset is typically non-zero for combining marks and other glyphs that move in the vertical direction, or cascading Arabic fonts like Noto Nastaliq Urdu.

I used rustybuzz and ab_glyph in a project of mine. Code should be here https://github.com/asibahi/nun/blob/master/src/draw.rs
