As I said, for Arabic support you'll have to do proper BiDi handling, 
i.e use Fribidi or ICU. As for the unicode functions: I think they are 
used in harfbuzz only for script detection, wide-characters and mirrored 
characters (probably more), so if you are willing to give up on those 
(and I bet you aren't) you can provide the nil unicode functions. 
Otherwise, you probably need to provide proper ones.

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with this library.
