I stumbled upon libraqm which is thin wrapper over fribidi, harfbuzz and freetype with a comfortable interface to work with text layouting. It worked fine to the point I was using English input but crashed as soon as switch to Bengali. Upon investigating a little bit, I found the call to `fribidi_charset_to_unicode` made here[1] is returning a wrong length of the string. I wrote a small test to confirm that, which can be found here[2]. I am having a feeling that what I am doing is wrong but I don't know. Sorry to bother you folks over holidays, thanks, :3 [1] <a href="https://github.com/HOST-Oman/libraqm/blob/master/src/raqm.c#L467" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/HOST-Oman/libraqm/blob/master/src/raqm.c#L467</a> [2] <a href="https://gist.github.com/hellozee/45cd60347ba38bcb008b675997e0745e" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/hellozee/45cd60347ba38bcb008b675997e0745e</a> -- Regards Kuntal M <a href="https://hellozee.dev" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hellozee.dev</a> _______________________________________________ fribidi mailing list <a href="mailto:fribidi@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">fribidi@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fribidi" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fribidi</a> </blockquote></div>
